About This Home

As of November 2017

Conveniently located close to John Ball Zoo and Grand Valley's downtown campus. This well maintained 3 bedroom, 1 bath home offers an enclosed front porch and 2-stall detached garage. Most of the home has the original ¾” oak flooring still in use. There are two bedrooms on the main floor (one with a walk-in closet), one full bath, nice size kitchen and dining area and living room. The upper level is wide open and easily accommodates as a third bedroom or home office or family / rec room. The lower level is mostly unfinished and has a nice size laundry room and small shop area. Plenty of storage area. There is a complete new roof (rafters and decking too) on the garage. New 50 gallon water heater.
