    Assumable VA Loan Available for Qualified Buyers! Welcome to 211 N. Deerfield Ave., a charming 1930 bungalow located on Lansing’s desirable west side, where mature trees, a peaceful neighborhood feel, and convenient access to shopping, restaurants, schools, parks, and everyday amenities come together. From the moment you turn onto Deerfield Ave., you’ll appreciate the beautiful canopy of towering trees that lines the street. Surrounded by mature trees and established perennial gardens, this home offers a welcoming setting that’s hard to believe is just minutes from everything the west side has to offer. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,080 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a 5,663-square-foot lot. Don’t let the square footage fool you. The open floor plan and impressive 13–14-foot vaulted ceilings in both the living room and primary bedroom make the home feel much larger than expected. The beautifully updated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring butcher block countertops, a deep black sink, subway tile backsplash, floating shelves, abundant cabinet and counter space, and a Whirlpool gas range. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a spacious dining area with plenty of room for a full-size dining table, making it perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The main floor includes a spacious living room, kitchen and dining area, a large primary bedroom, full bathroom, first-floor laundry room, and convenient mudroom/entry. The oversized primary bedroom features a sliding glass door leading directly to the covered back porch, filling the room with natural light while providing the perfect space for a sitting area, reading nook, or home office. Upstairs you’ll find the second bedroom with a generous closet and convenient access to additional attic storage hidden behind the closet. Storage is abundant throughout the home with spacious closets, attic storage, and a large detached shed. Outside you’ll enjoy both a welcoming covered front porch and a covered back porch overlooking the backyard. The driveway comfortably accommodates up to four vehicles, and a neighborhood park is just one street away. The home also includes central air conditioning, and the refrigerator, dishwasher, Whirlpool gas range, washer, dryer, and basement dehumidifier are included. A rare bonus is the opportunity for qualified buyers to assume the existing VA loan, potentially offering a significantly lower interest rate than today’s market. This home is being sold For Sale By Owner (FSBO) and as-is. If you’re looking for a home with soaring ceilings, an inviting open layout, a beautifully updated kitchen, generous storage, and the charm of an established west Lansing neighborhood, 211 N. Deerfield Ave. is ready to welcome you home.
    What the owner loves about this home
    * The beautiful tree-lined street makes every drive home feel peaceful. * The mature perennial gardens bloom year after year with very little effort. * The vaulted ceilings make the home feel much larger than 1,080 square feet. * The primary bedroom is spacious enough for a bedroom set plus a sitting area, and we loved having direct access to the covered back porch through the sliding glass door. * The butcher block countertops, deep black sink, floating shelves, subway tile backsplash, and Whirlpool gas range make the kitchen one of our favorite rooms. * The hidden attic storage behind the upstairs closet is incredibly convenient. * The detached shed offers plenty of storage for tools, lawn equipment, bikes, and seasonal decorations. * The driveway comfortably fits four vehicles. * We loved decorating the front porch for the holidays using the three switched electrical outlets, including one mounted high near the porch roof for Christmas lights. * The neighborhood park just one street away is perfect for walks and enjoying the outdoors. * Even though you’re close to everything on Lansing’s west side, the neighborhood feels quiet, established, and tucked away.
