Welcome Home to 1885 Melrose Ave. East Lansing. The property backs up to East Lansing's Burcham Solar Park. The backyard is beautifully picturesque and you will enjoy sitting out on the back elevated deck and watch the breeze gently flow through the trees along with the multiple species of birds and you get to watch the bambi's play! The house features 4 bedrooms, so one could be used as a home office, as the sellers did. There are hardwood floors in most all of the rooms, the basement is partially finished and has awesome daylight windows to allow in the natural light from the back. The furnace, on-demand hot water heater, roof (a total tear off and replacement), the generator, electrical panel, and the Kitchen have been added, replaced or re-done since 2017. The kitchen is gorgeous, features quartz countertops and a quartz counter-top buffet, all the cabinets were replaced and feature the quiet close hardware. The kitchen stainless steel appliances were all installed in 2018. The front porch, and the sidewalk up to it along with the driveway, approach, and the garage floor are all part of the updates! The attached 2 car garage cabinetry is all updated. The sellers also installed a Generac generator along with a 200 amp electrical panel. The back elevated deck and stairs have also been updated. The property is close to all shopping and Dtwn East Lansing & Lansing. MSU is close, and there are many bike & hiking trails near. Put this house on your must see list!
