What a location. What a house. Welcome to 1115 Shirley, a fully reimagined 1950s one-and-a-half-story Cape Cod where classic character meets a clean, modern renovation completed in 2026. Set on a corner lot facing a significant green space, the home is wrapped by an inviting lawn on all four sides and backs directly to the South Lansing Pathway (just behind Belen's Flowers and Lansing Gardens), making morning walks and evening bike rides part of everyday life. Inside, the entire house has been renovated with a modern eye: contemporary design, updated fixtures, and finishes throughout. The sun-filled living room pairs gleaming hardwood floors with custom built-in shelving and a large picture window that frames the green view. Hardwood floors continue down the hallway and into 2 generously sized main-floor bedrooms. What truly sets this home apart is the second-floor primary suite. Beyond a spacious bedroom finished in gorgeous knotty pine, a private sitting area and lounge gives you a retreat that most homes this size simply don't offer, ideal for a reading nook, home office, or quiet unwind at the end of the day. Look closely and you'll find another rare touch: secret compartments and hidden storage built seamlessly into the knotty pine walls. Ample cabinetry and oversized closets round out storage throughout. Peace of mind is built in. The kitchen and bathroom were beautifully updated in 2026, the roof is just two years old, and the mechanicals are all newer, including a 2026 water heater. A whole-house Generac generator stays with the home, keeping the lights, heat, and appliances running through any outage. The deep basement adds real flexibility with a washer and dryer, generous storage, and dedicated work space. A one-of-a-kind blend of character, location, and modern comfort. Let this be your oasis in the city. Schedule your private showing today; this one won't last.
