216 Maplewood Dr East Lansing, MI 48823

Located on a tree-lined street in East Lansing, a favorite for walkers and bicyclists, 216 Maplewood Drive offers the opportunity to own a special piece of heaven on earth. Built in 1940, this two-story brick home features 3 BRs and 2 full baths, hardwood floors, 2-3 fireplaces, a 4-car garage, fenced yard with inground lap pool and enchanted gardens on over ½ acre lot in East Lansing. On the home's main level, the renovated kitchen with glass brick accents has exquisite granite countertops, lovely cherry cabinetry upgrades including roll out shelves and soft-close drawers and doors. A new gas range, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, microwave, and dishwasher fully equip this space and plenty of counter space, serving and snacking space for two or for a large crowd to enjoy. The adjoining dining room is open to the kitchen, sunroom, and living room with a wood burning fireplace. A full bath is situated in the main hallway and separated by two spacious bedrooms, one currently used as a study. The sunroom located off the kitchen features radiant floor heat and an artistic limestone faced wood burning fireplace. This space is sure to be a favorite and is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows on three sides with sliding glass doors on one side leading to a sunny kitchen garden and patio, and on the other side a small deck with a gas grill and spiral stairway to the upper platform deck. The primary bedroom and en-suite are located on the second floor of the home and will make you feel as if you have arrived at a spa-like retreat! This vaulted space features a ceiling fan along with two skylights, one that opens and closes remotely. A long wall of storage includes 4 closets making it easy to share. The primary bath features twin sinks and mirrored cabinets with outlets and storage capacity, a nice walk-in shower with a rainwater showerhead, and a whirlpool tub. An extra special touch in the master bath is the sun lamp over the whirlpool and the heated floors  particularly wonderful on a cold winter's morning. You can walk out to the platform second-story deck for a very private party or close off the primary suite and have your guests walk up the spiral stairway from the lower patio for some fun, an overall lovely and special place for fun and relaxation. The home's lower level is finished on one side, and currently has a sitting area, an unused fireplace and daybed set up in it. Laundry, heating, and storage are on the other side. Master Gardeners will love this yard and all its glory. Native plants, ornamental trees, and many perennials supply blooms throughout the growing season. The fenced back yard is very private and includes a heated lap pool. It is a short walk from the house to the northeast corner of the Michigan State University campus. Restaurants and shopping are also within walking distance, including a Whole Foods and the planned Trader Joes. But even though the home is located close to all the hubbub, it feels very private and secluded. Hope you will love it too!
