About This Home

As of November 2014

Opportunity awaits in this turn of the century Heritage Hill home. Just a quick walk or bike ride takes you to all the action of Wealthy Street Historic District, downtown Grand Rapids, or trails and parks. This home is a diamond in the rough and is seeking that dedicated craftsman or woman that loves to rehab old houses. Hardwood floors, original oak trim and tons of square footage are features that will be the basis of returning this home to its original glory. A walkout basement, garage, and wood burning stove off the kitchen in a separate two story storage annex add to the charm. Home will need HVAC, Plumbing, and extensive rehab, but the bones are good. (Paint and carpet flippers don't waste your time) See this great opportunity before it is gone.
