MLS# 25029054 - 26004 Shirley Lane, Dearborn Heights, MI 48127

This home has passed the residential sale inspection - a buyer can move right in without assuming any repairs. Located in the quiet and well-established Dearborn Heights neighborhood of Dearborn Oaks, where mature trees line wide streets, this property balances preservation with polish and offers a warm canvas for the next chapter. The modern flow of this timeless home has been carefully improved, honoring its mid-century character while attending to key updates. A new roof (complete tear-off 2025), upgraded 150 amp electric breaker panel, along with updates to plumbing, lighting, flooring, paint, pool revitalization, irrigation and more set the stage for comfortable living. On the main level, newly refinished oak floors flow through the entry, living room, and hallway while the soft white palette of new paint amplifies the natural light. The kitchen and informal dining area connect to a family room with French doors that open to the backyard - creating a natural rhythm between interior and exterior. New vinyl plank flooring underfoot provides continuity and durability in these high-traffic spaces. A wide living and dining room anchors the rear of the home with a doorwall leading directly to the new poolside deck. Just off the entry, a dedicated study features its own wood-burning fireplace and a view to the front garden, also offering potential for a main level bedroom. Upstairs, four generously-sized bedrooms center around a hallway with original built-ins and louvered closet doors. Both full bathrooms retain vintage details like tile floors, sculptural tubs, and globe lights that root the home in its era. Again, fresh paint and refinished hardwood continue throughout this level, offering cohesion and a sense of renewal. The partially finished basement evokes a time capsule of entertaining: wood paneling, mid-century lighting, and a retro bar with shag-texture and saturated orange walls - ready for its next game night, cocktail hour, or complete transformation. Outside, the 0.27-acre corner lot unfolds in zones: a new wood deck, brick paver patio, and concrete frame the in-ground pool, complete with slide, waterfall feature, and hot tub section. A white vinyl privacy fence encloses the space, offering seclusion in an otherwise connected neighborhood. With its bones intact and its surfaces revived, this home offers a rare blend of vintage charm and practical investment - ready to be lived in, enjoyed, and personalized.
