Nestled in Grand Rapids' Highland Park neighborhood, this classic Foursquare pairs timeless character with thoughtful updates throughout. Nearly everything has been refreshed or replaced—kitchen, bath, windows, mechanicals, LVP flooring—so you can skip the projects and settle right in. The main entry offers space for a mudroom or sunny plant nook, while the basement adds versatility with a finished bonus room, dedicated laundry area, and workshop. Out back, a fenced yard offers just the right spot to relax or garden. All just minutes from parks, coffee, and the heart of the city. Any offers received will be presented Monday 6/9/25 after 12pm.
