Located at 1538 Centre St in Detroit, MI, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit is thoughtfully laid out across a single floor. The interior opens into a combined kitchen and dining area, where white shaker-style cabinetry lines the walls alongside a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, electric range, microwave, and dishwasher. A light-toned laminate countertop and integrated sink complete the kitchen. Warm hardwood-style flooring flows throughout the main living areas, complementing the bright, neutral wall tones. The dining area transitions into a cozy living room, accented by a curved bay window arrangement that draws in natural light and offers views of the surrounding neighborhood. Baseboard heating is present throughout the unit. The spacious primary bedroom features multiple windows, a wall-mounted AC unit, and continues the hardwood flooring, while the second bedroom is finished with plush carpeting for added comfort. Both bedrooms offer access to natural light. The shared full bathroom is finished in clean white tile, featuring a tub-shower combination and a pedestal-style sink. A hallway and utility room round out the practical layout of this well-organized Detroit residence.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
