Home For Sale near Woodland Lake - Livingston County

A true Brighton unicorn -- a ranch home with a walkout basement, beautifully set against a peaceful wooded backdrop. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers a layout buyers search for but rarely find. The main living space features soaring vaulted ceilings and large windows that bring in natural light while showcasing the surrounding trees. A custom stone fireplace anchors the living room, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The kitchen includes Merillat cabinetry, granite countertops, a convenient built-in desk area, and a cozy dining nook overlooking the backyard. The primary bedroom offers a private ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms provide comfortable space for guests, family, or a home office. With its desirable ranch layout and scenic setting, this home combines everyday functionality with the tranquility of nature just outside your windows. **There is also laundry hookup in the mud room - main floor** The finished walkout basement significantly expands the living space and provides incredible flexibility for recreation, hobbies, entertaining, or multi-purpose living. With generous open space already in place, the lower level easily accommodates game tables, media seating, workout areas, or creative workspace while still leaving room for storage. The walkout design also allows natural light to flow into the lower level, making it feel like an extension of the main living area rather than a traditional basement. Outdoor living is just as appealing, with both an upper deck and a lower deck overlooking the wooded backyard. Whether enjoying morning coffee, grilling with friends, or unwinding in the evening while watching wildlife pass through the trees, the outdoor spaces offer a peaceful setting that truly highlights the property's natural surroundings. The home also features a two-car attached garage, welcoming front landscaping, and a layout that flows comfortably between gathering spaces and private areas. The primary suite is positioned for privacy and includes a walk-in closet and spacious ensuite bath. The home has been well maintained and offers a great opportunity for a new owner to add their own updates and personal style while enjoying its solid construction, functional layout, vaulted ceilings, and the increasingly rare combination of a ranch home with a walkout basement. Located in a desirable Brighton setting with convenient access to local parks, dining, shopping, and commuter routes, this property offers the ideal balance of privacy, space, and potential.
