What's special

Welcome to 473 Calvin Ave in Grosse Pointe Farms! This is a super cute 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home that has been loved by the same owner for a long time and is ready for the next buyer to come in and make it their own. There are already a lot of nice features here too! Newer furnace and A/C, whole-house generator, interior basement waterproofing system, and a brand-new garage door and opener. You’ve also got a full basement and 1-car garage for plenty of extra storage. And obviously the location is a big part of this one. Grosse Pointe Farms is one of those areas people really look for, with beautiful established neighborhoods, access to Pier Park on Lake St. Clair, and The Hill nearby for restaurants, shops, and everything else – Just a really nice opportunity to get into Grosse Pointe Farms with a house that has been cared for, has some great features already in place, and still gives the next owner a chance to put their own style into it.
