This really is a great opportunity. This home has recently been completely renovated: new drywall, new double-paned thermal windows, all new doors and trim, new refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher. It has all new electrical wiring and breaker panel, new switches, plugs, recessed ceiling lights in the kitchen, dining room, bathroom and living room. The plumbing has been replaced; the drains are new, the kitchen sink, tub/shower, toilet and bathroom sink/vanity are new. All floors are either new or refinished hardwoods. It has a new large porch complete with an inviting front porch swing. We have painted every room. There is a new lawn with many wood-chipped gardens, all with metal edging and garden fabric to make them carefree. The yard has a nice mix of sun and shade. This is a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood in the heart of East Grand Rapids. It's located just blocks from Breton elementary school, EGR middle and high schools. The house lies at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. This home is decorated in Arts and Crafts colors. It has three bedrooms and two full baths. There is a two stall garage and a deck. The main bath is new, with new lights, hardware, fixtures, tub and vanity. The basement is dry and has plenty of space for use and storage. There is a free washer and dryer in the laundry room. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, sink with disposer, stove, microwave and refrigerator, just a couple of years old. Off the kitchen, there is a deck, which opens onto the secluded back yard. We can't say enough about the school system. Our three children attended the elementary school. They loved all the individual attention they got from their teachers, the aides and parent volunteers in their classes; and they thrived on the learning challenges they got to tackle! The teachers also work hard to promote kindness and respect for fellow students and outreach to others. One of their classes collected pencils and notebooks to send with a teacher who was going to do some work in a remote African village. This was one of many community projects. Academically, EGR schools are outstanding. In 2010 the students had the highest average MEAP scores in all of Michigan. East Grand Rapids is a true walking community. People walk, ride bikes and rollerblade: to the park on Reed's Lake to enjoy the free summer concerts; to the library overlooking the lake; to Starbucks, nestled in the beautiful community area of Gas-Light-Village and of course every summer evening there's a mini-parade to Jersey Junction for an ice cream cone. See www.eastgr.org for a more complete picture of the community. This is a non-smoking home. $1790/ month, plus gas, electric and water; security deposit of $1000. We take rental applications, which include a credit check and a legal background check. Achilles: 954-3828 ruthachilles@sbcglobal.net
