    Timeless character, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable Chesterfield Hills location come together in this charming East Lansing classic. Nestled on one of the neighborhood's picturesque tree-lined streets, this beautifully maintained home is just a short walk or bike ride to MSU campus and Downtown East Lansing, offering an ideal blend of neighborhood charm and everyday convenience. From the moment you arrive, the professional landscaping, brand-new concrete driveway and walks, and inviting curb appeal make a wonderful first impression. Inside, beautiful hardwood floors extend throughout much of the home, including the living room, dining room, sunroom, office, and all three upstairs bedrooms. The living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace that has been newly lined, capped, and sealed—ready for chilly evenings at home. The updated kitchen combines classic style with functionality, featuring granite countertops, custom island, tile backsplash, antique glass cabinet accents, and a new refrigerator. Just off the kitchen, the adorable sunroom showcases a gorgeous new veranda overlooking the beautifully landscaped front yard and surrounding neighborhood. The main level also offers a flexible bedroom or office, plus an updated half bath. One of the home's most special spaces is the incredible screened-in porch overlooking the private backyard. Enjoy peaceful views of the pond, with electrical already in place, and beautifully designed landscaping throughout the property, including a rain garden. It's the perfect spot to relax, entertain, or even listen to the MSU band from your own back porch! Numerous exterior improvements add to the home's appeal, including newer windows with brand-new glass inserts, brand-new dining room windows, all-new exterior doors, new Hardie board siding on the rear of the home, and freshly painted exterior surfaces. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms feature hardwood flooring and timeless door hardware. The large primary bedroom includes cedar-lined closet space, while the oversized full bath offers a tub, dual sinks, stained glass detail, and skylight. Another bedroom boasts an impressive oversized two-sided closet with convenient hallway access. The lower level provides laundry, abundant storage, and plenty of room for future possibilities.
