This is the one you have been waiting for... a charming home with loads of updates and TONS of character!!! This 2 story home has great curb appeal with the brick & stone turret style front entrance along with beautifully manicured landscaping. If the exterior doesn't sweep you off your feet the interior will. A brand new modern kitchen & eating area with white cabinetry, granite countertops, tiled backsplash, modern hardware/light fixtures, loads of natural light thru the many new Pella windows and the beautiful new LVP wood flooring. Also impressive on the main level is the remodeled half bathroom, recessed lighting and the modern wide trim & baseboards throughout. The living room is spacious but yet remains cozy with a gas fireplace, a wall of built-in's with French doors that lead to the back covered porch & deck with a fully fenced-in back yard. The main floor bedroom is currently used as a home office but could easily be a formal dining room or craft/play room. One of the best and most unique features for this home is the elegant foyer with open staircase featuring a black wrought iron railing and the beautifully curved wall and the professionally refinished hardwood floors (all upstairs hardwood floors have all been professionally refinished). The second level also includes a very spacious primary bedroom with generous sized closets, 2 more spacious bedrooms a remodeled full bathroom. The basement has a rec. room, a ton of storage space, laundry room and mechanicals (new furnace 2022) along with a workshop area. This location is perfect with schools, parks, restaurants and downtown East Grand Rapids just a stone's throw away. Sellers also installed a Eufy Smart Doorbell and a Nest Thermostat that will remain with the home. Sellers set offer deadline for 6/24/23 at noon!
