5603 Maxwell Ct East Lansing, MI 48823

Welcome home: A wooded retreat just minutes from everything. Tucked away on a private, quiet court in a wooded setting, this exceptional 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath condo offers the rare combination of privacy and convenience. East Lansing schools, Meridian Township taxes, and Costco (with unbeatable gas prices) barely a block away. Step through the door into a dramatic 2- story foyer, where storing ceilings and a light filled landing set the tone for the home. The heart of the home is the great room - a showstopper with vaulted ceilings, a striking floor- to- ceiling rough- sawn cedar fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, and a 9-foot slider that frames pea views and opens to your private deck. The adjoining kitchen with pantry, bar seating, and nearly new appliances flows effortlessly into the dining room and great room - perfect for everything from quiet mornings to entertaining. Upstairs, an open wood carpeted staircase leads to a sun filled loft with a skylight - a flexible space that easily becomes a home office or reading nook. The primary suite is a true retreat: generously sized with two mirrored closets, a dedicated dressing area, and a beautifully updated shower with grab bars and a fold down teak seat. Step out onto your own private balcony through a 6-foot slider and enjoy the treetop views and your morning coffee. The lower-level offers a spacious second bedroom with almost an egress window, full bath, and a separate laundry/utility area - ideal for guest or multi-generational living. Cherished by its original owner since 1982, this home has been thoughtfully updated in the last 3 years - dishwasher, refrigerator, over the range microwave, dryer, smart thermostat, 10-year CO2 smoke alarms (3yrs old), air conditioning (2019) furnace with humidifier (2013), the stove and washing machine are included too! With the HOA fees of just $392.69 a month covering water, sewer, trash, snow removal, landscaping, roof, garage door, and even window/door replacement, this is truly worry-free living. Private. Peaceful. Perfectly located. This is the one you've been waiting for! (Back deck is on the list for 2027). Close to MSU, Costco, Whole Foods, Highway access and more!
