About This Home
This treasure is a MUST see in-person! Welcome to 1617 Lake Michigan Drive - a home that beautifully balances charm, updates, and convenience. The current owners say it best: 'We love the privacy and beauty of our backyard terraced garden. From the coziness of the fireplace to the brightness of the custom kitchen, we love spending time in our home.'
Step inside and you'll find a thoughtfully maintained property with major mechanical upgrades already taken care of: furnace (2021), air conditioner (2022), and hot water heater (2023). Every door and window was replaced in 2010 through the Get the Lead Out program, and in 2015 the entire attic was insulated with additional vents, making this home both comfortable and energy-efficient. The terraced backyard garden offers a private incredible retreat right in the city perfect for morning coffee, evenings by the fire pit, or hosting friends in a truly beautiful outdoor setting. This garden will truly take your breath away! Inside, you'll appreciate the warmth of the fireplace and the light-filled, custom kitchen designed for everyday living and entertaining. Continuing through the home you will find each room tastefully updated and completely move in ready. For your storage needs, a partially finished attic space perfect for storing those casually used items.
Located just minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, this home combines the feel of a private sanctuary with the convenience of being close to shopping, restaurants, and the energy of the city. Act quick! This one will not last!
