This charming, solidly built house is located on a quiet, tree-lined street in a friendly, walkable neighborhood, just a few blocks from Ottawa Hills, Hall Street Bakery, and the library. The large front porch welcomes you and leads into a foyer and large, open living room adjacent to the dining room and generously sized kitchen. You'll also find a half bath, and there is hardwood flooring throughout.
The second floor features four bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor has been converted into a large primary suite with a sitting area, built-in cabinetry, and energy-efficient mini-split heating and cooling.
Outside, you'll appreciate the large, private, fenced-in backyard and two-stall garage. Many improvements were completed in 2024, including the third-floor renovation and mini-split, high-efficiency replacement windows on the second floor, a water heater, garage doors, exterior paint, and a vinyl fence. The roof and furnace are less than 10 years old.
