About this home
9/14/2025 OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED. PRICE REDUCED!! Charming and full of potential, 229 Sylvan Road offers the timeless appeal of a classic 2-story Colonial with smart updates that blend character and comfort. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home features 1,569 sq. ft. of living space on a .17-acre lot, with a 1-car garage and a spacious fenced yard nestled on a quiet neighborhood street in the highly desirable Brighton School District. The home boasts strong curb appeal with updated siding, gutters, and windows—all installed at the same time—along with a freshly painted interior. Inside, enjoy traditional Colonial elements like hardwood floors, runners, and original features, along with important upgrades. The AC and furnace were updated in 2010, and the garage has been fireproofed and double insulated, adding an extra layer of safety and energy efficiency. A new ceiling fan and Wagner carpets add comfort and style to the living areas. Though the fireplace has never been used, it offers great potential as a cozy focal point for the living room. The galvanized plumbing and older water heater are noted, but the home is free from asbestos, providing peace of mind for future improvements. The roof is approximately 16 years old, and the Greenlight internet-ready setup supports today’s connected lifestyle. The layout provides comfortable room sizes, including a formal living room, a traditional dining room, and a bright kitchen ready for your personal touch. Large windows bring in natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Located close to shopping, restaurants, parks, and schools, this home offers both convenience and charm in one of Brighton’s most walkable neighborhoods. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to personalize a classic Brighton Colonial, 229 Sylvan Road is a fantastic opportunity to make your mark in a highly sought-after area.
