About This Home

As of September 2025

Is it possible to live in a home that makes every day feel like a vacation? It is now! This gorgeous brick bungalow offers incredible landscaping, stunning views overlooking the Grand River and a ton of updates, making it the perfect oasis. Located in the heart of the coveted River Forest neighborhood of Lansing, surrounded by some of the most amazing neighbors; you truly can't find a better patio to take in the awesome river landscape. As you enter the home, you'll note the striking foyer with a convenient coat closet and entrance to the bonus second floor space that is ready to be finished with your own special touches. The living room is a work of art with huge new windows ushering in natural light and river views, gleaming hardwood floors, built in shelves and a wood burning fireplace with marble surround. Head into the formal dining room that is currently being perfectly utilized as a music room and you will understand the versatility of this fabulous home. There is a large screened porch that's perfect for nature watching on those beautiful Michigan mornings as it overlooks the brand-new patio, gorgeous yard and the Grand River. The kitchen has been updated to inspire any home cook and includes new stainless-steel appliances, custom honey oak cabinets, a moveable island for additional work space and a pantry. The incredibly spacious primary bedroom offers an abundance of natural light and a large closet with a new closet organizer system. The second bedroom also includes hardwood floors and a sizable closet. There is an additional room that currently makes a perfect office, but could also be utilized as a den, family room or 3rd bedroom. The main bathroom displays an eye-catching vanity with glass bowl sink, original white tile floor and a shower/tub. The basement includes new glass block windows and is just waiting to be finished! There is a laundry area, a work space, tons of storage, a large area that is already plumbed for a second full bathroom, and a giant recreation space with a second wood burning fireplace and all of the necessary items needed to finish the room including recessed lights, a drop ceiling kit and designer 2' x 2' ceiling panels. This home has been lovingly and respectfully updated and is just waiting for you to add your personal touches!
