About This Home
As of September 2024THE TRAIN HOUSE, so aptly named, is located on the West Side of 31 in the City of Grand Haven close to everything. A short distance to downtown, the Harbor, restaurants and all the fun GH has to offer. The look of this home with its newer roof and siding reminds you at first glance of a gracious farm home sitting alone in a grassy field. I can almost visualize someone sitting in a rocking chair on either porch enjoying the day. Waiting for the perfect new owner to give it the loving hands it needs, this home will be perfect for the handy person to develop it to its potential, for the landlord who wants to use it as a rental and affordable for the 1st time home buyer to add their touch. One bedroom one bath on the main floor along with a nice sized Living rm, Dining rm, bath and Kitchen. The kitchen has a farm sink, stove & refrigerator but needs cupboards or storage of some sort. The second floor has two bedrooms, or, one bedroom and an office divided by glass folding French doors and a large attic for storage. The main floor has vinyl flooring. There is a storage shed but it needs a new roof. Call today for your private showing.
