About This Home

As of May 2025

This charming home in the heart of Midtown offers a perfect blend of character and community. It is conveniently located near the Farmers' Market, Martha's Vineyard, local stores, and coffee shops.
A welcoming three-season porch, with screens and storm windows, invites you to relax and enjoy Michigan's changing seasons.
Inside, the home retains much of its original craftsmanship, including wood floors, arched doorways, crown molding, plus many recent design updates. The open floor plan flows seamlessly from the living room through the traditional dining room into a spacious eat-in kitchen. The kitchen boasts large windows with plenty of natural light, stainless steel appliances, new countertops, and vinyl flooring.
A finished 14x14 ft bonus space in the basement is currently used as a music studio/bar, which could be transformed into a conforming 3rd bedroom or office, plus extra storage, a workbench, and laundry facilities- complete laundry chute!

From the kitchen, you can access a private, fenced backyard featuring a spacious deck for entertaining, a custom-built 8x8 ft shed for storage, and off-street parking that can accommodate two cars- a rare find in this desirable neighborhood.

Enjoy the perfect combination of urban living, community, and green space with nearby public transportation, bike paths, schools, and parks. The Midtown Association offers community amenities such as a "tool lending library" and neighborhood events. Grand Valley State University, Aquinas College, Medical Mile, GRPS Montessori, and Congress Elementary are all in close proximity. Don't miss the opportunity to invest in this popular area and make this home your own!
