About This Home

As of May 2025

Enter into the timeless charm of 418 Rust Avenue, a meticulously preserved two-story gem nestled in the heart of Big Rapids. This classic 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers a perfect blend of vintage character and modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, you'll be drawn to its inviting presence, and warm appeal. Complete with rich architectural details, numerous large windows flooding the home of natural light, and a back patio that whispers of warm summer nights and quiet mornings with coffee in hand.

Inside, you'll find spacious rooms with tall ceilings, and thoughtful updates that complement the home's historic appeal without sacrificing functionality. Entertaining inside is a breeze with the large living room, open dining room, and additional sitting room. Venture to the lower level to find the rustic den complete with wet-bar and separate pellet stove- the perfect place to catch the game.

What truly sets this property apart is its extra-deep lot, offering endless potential for gardening, play, or peaceful relaxation under the shade of mature trees. The nearly .7-acre property backs up to the community pool making those dog days of Summer extra fun at this home. The oversized detached garage is ideal for hobbyists, extra storage, or a dream workshop.

Whether you're entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying the charm of a tree lined neighborhood, 418 Rust Ave captures the soul of Big Rapids living with a personality all its own.
