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.

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.
