A Rare Gem in Shaw Estates!
Presenting an unparalleled opportunity to own this custom-built colonial farmhouse nestled in the serene, wooded enclave of Shaw Estates' north end. This distinguished residence, available for the first time in nearly half a century, offers an idyllic blend of classic charm and modern amenities.
Walk or bike to nearby parks, trails, Glencairn Elementary, Michigan State University, and downtown East Lansing. The location is simply unbeatable.
The home exudes timeless elegance with a large array of built-ins and cozy design touches throughout, perfect for both family living and entertaining. A grand vaulted entry foyer opens to a stately living room, featuring a gas fireplace and an adjoining formal dining area.
The remodeled eat-in kitchen is designed for both culinary excellence and entertainment, boasting a breakfast bar, peninsula, custom-paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator and appliances, electric range and exquisite oak flooring.
The cozy family room, with its beamed ceiling, showcases a magnificent inglenook-style masonry fireplace, a remote-controlled entertainment caddy, and large sliding doors that lead to a private back deck with a recessed hot tub.
On the opposite end of the home, a refined wood-paneled study or bedroom offers a quiet retreat, complemented by a full bathroom with a tub and tile surround. An inviting side entry and an oversized laundry/half bath complete the first floor.
Ascend the grand staircase to discover four generously sized bedrooms, each with ample closet space. The primary bedroom features twin closets, an ensuite bath with a luxurious built-in vanity and cabinetry.
The beautifully landscaped front yard with an in-ground flagpole, garden, and paver driveway, enhances the home's curb appeal. The attached garage provides ample space for two cars, along with an ancillary workshop or storage area.
This high-quality build, situated in an exceptional neighborhood, offers a smart and classic layout that truly stands out. It doesn't get much better than this.
Showings start October 9.
