About This Home
As of April 2018Restored and tastefully updated! This 4 bedroom, 2 full bath home has tastes of its original 1920's charm with the luxury of modern updates in all the right places. It is hard to find craftmanship like this anymore. Entering the foyer sets the tone with the original tile work and gorgeous woodwork. Entering the living room, you are drawn to the brick fireplace with detailed mantle and tile hearth. The extensive natural light from the living room windows light up the restored hardwood floors taking you all the way through to the massive, open dining room, great for entertaining. Head to your right off the dining room and hit the main floor bedroom/office/workout room. Go straight through the dining room, into the completely updated kitchen that includes a perfectly placed breakfast nook, a fun hidden cabinet, and many more updates. The main floor full bath is tastefully updated and includes intricate basket weave tile flooring from the late 20's. Down the hall there is a bonus room, that could be a 5th bedroom, but maybe a reading nook, office, music room, the option is yours. Downstairs gives you a downtown Grand Rapids industrial feel featuring a beautiful reclaimed wood accent wall, galvanized industrial pipes, exposed brick, and rustic Edison bulb lighting. The second level has all new carpet that flows throughout every room. The bedrooms are generous in size as are their closets, with the master really giving you what you want. The updated second floor bath is large and gives you room to move around. If that wasn't enough the location is second to none, down the street is Briggs park that includes a community pool, or just a few blocks further west you will hit Grand Rapids largest park, Riverside. A 2 minute drive south on Plainfield takes you into the beautifully revitalized Creston business district with shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Keep going west on Plainfield and you will quickly hit Grand Rapids downtown attractions. A 2 minute drive north on Plainfield takes you to Cheshire village. Head east up Knapp and you will be to Knapp's corner in no time or are minutes away. This is one you really need to see for yourself. Offers will be reviewed on 3/25.
