About This Home
As of May 20261365 Penn Ave NE is the kind of house you'll fall in love with in person.
Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, move-in ready. The layout is one you notice immediately. Everything flows the way you'd actually want it to -- living, dining, kitchen all connected the way real life needs them to be.
The kitchen has the cabinet and counter space to be genuinely functional. The major systems have already been updated, so you're not walking into a project. The bathroom update is done. The mechanicals are done. What's left is the fun part. Making it yours. Outside is a backyard sized perfectly for the life most people actually live. Small enough to be low maintenance, large enough to host. It's ready for your string lights, a grill, and a few chairs.
Located just minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, close to parks, restaurants, and more. Move-in ready and genuinely blank-slate. That combination is harder to find than it sounds.
