About This Home

As of October 2024

Cute as a button! This darling ranch on almost half an acre is move-in-ready! You'll find hardwood floors in the hallway and bedrooms, and brand new carpet in the living room! The full basement with workshop offers plenty of storage space, and a cozy breezeway/3-season room connects the garage to the rest of the home. Enjoy the coolness from central air on those hot summer days after relaxing in the large heated inground pool with friends in your beautiful backyard retreat! The pool area is surrounded by decorative aluminum fencing. There are two sheds for additional storage and the large u-shaped driveway is ideal for easy coming and going! Close by Frederik Meijer Gardens, shopping, dining, highways, downtown Grand Rapids and much more!
