    What's special

    Welcome to 828 N Francis Ave! Location, convenience, and a well-cared-for home—all in one! This charming Cape Cod offers convenient access to Michigan State University, downtown Lansing, UM Health-Sparrow, Frandor Shopping Center, Potter Park Zoo, and a variety of shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. With easy access to US-127 and I-496, getting around Greater Lansing is a breeze. Lovingly maintained by its current owners for nearly a decade, this home has seen thoughtful updates, including upgraded electrical wiring and meter (2023), a newer gas furnace (2024), washer (June 2026), new vinyl flooring and carpeting, and a new garage roof. The kitchen features a new gas stove with a range hood and a refrigerator just over a year old. Offering 1,193 sq ft of above-grade living space, this home features two main-floor bedrooms and a full bathroom. The spacious upper level offers three closets and a convenient half bath, providing ample storage and flexible living space. The mostly finished basement adds approximately 532 sq ft of usable space, including a recreation area and a separate room with a window and closet—perfect for a home office, hobby room, or other uses. The garage also includes an attached storage shed for added convenience. Step outside to enjoy both front and rear decks and a fenced backyard with an established edible garden! Blackberry bushes, apple and peach trees, and plenty of green onions add a special touch to this outdoor space. Combining a convenient location, thoughtful updates, and inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, this home is ready for its next chapter. Schedule your showing and make it yours before winter arrives!
