About This Home
Just steps from the lively Michigan Avenue corridor—where local coffee shops, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites line the street—this classic home offers timeless charm with everyday comfort. Enjoy the convenience of being minutes from downtown Lansing and Michigan State University while living in one of the city's most walkable and community-minded areas. The star of the show is the huge covered front porch...essentially a second living room all summer long. Inside, you'll find beautiful original trim, hardwood floors, a stunning stone fireplace, leaded glass windows, and a bay window in the dining room that floods the space with natural light. Every corner radiates character and craftsmanship. The kitchen is enormous, featuring an island, pantry, and plenty of cabinets and counter space for cooking, gathering, or late-night homework sessions. Just off the kitchen, the enclosed mudroom makes the perfect drop zone for muddy boots, soccer bags, and backpacks. A convenient half bath rounds out the main floor. Upstairs, you'll find three generous bedrooms with huge closets and a full bathroom. The home also includes a full basement for storage or future finishing potential, plus a lovely backyard shaded by mature trees. The charming playhouse just needs a little love to become the ultimate hideout or backyard studio. A beautiful mix of history, warmth, and walkable urban living—this one's easy to fall for.
