About This Home

As of November 2017

Wonderful 3 bedroom home close to John Ball Zoo and downtown Grand Rapids. Retro kitchen, fireplace in living room, beautiful hardwood floors below carpet. Quality like they don't make anymore, on one of the quietest streets in Grand Rapids. Private, yet close to everything. Attached 2 car garage on a double lot. Fantastic yard with mature trees. Even a laundry shoot and an incinerator for those vintage touches. Some rooms feature amazing cork floors, and a full wood shop for all your projects. Live in as-is, or improve it and end up with the nicest home in the neighborhood.
