621 Moores River Dr Lansing, MI 48910

Classic turn-of-the-century charm meets 21st century styling and updates to create a warm, open, inviting home' designed to complement today's lifestyles. After removing the wall between kitchen and dining room, the owner had a gorgeous butcher block peninsula designed, which opens up the whole first floor! He had a stainless 5 burner gas range and exhaust hood installed so the cook can enjoy talking with guests and enjoy views out the new french doors to the custom rear gardens! Built in 1906, the welcoming foyer is set off by two original oak columns and a detailed staircase which turns past charming stain glass windows at the landing. The first floor is a mix of oak and maple flooring, and much of the original trim and many doors are in mint condition. The second floor has been completely painted and carpeted and all three bedrooms share a large hall bath with updated fixtures. The new rear deck overlooks a large beautifully landscaped back yard lined with perennial beds. The back yard is fully fenced. There is room for a new garage at the rear of the property that could be accessed by the alley as the neighbors do. The owner did not just add lovely cosmetic improvements like recessed lighting in the living room, and a refaced fireplace, but he also did major work on the homes mechanicals. A new half bath was installed on the first floor, and all the plumbing pipes were replaced with new pex lines so the pressure in the home is now uniform. The seller had the electrical system completely updated and all the old knob and tube removed. The windows were new in the past few years, as was the roof. The location can't be beat, just a few blocks to the River Trail and REO Town, close to downtown.
For the new owner the hardest decisions will be whether to end the day sitting on the front porch overlooking Moores Park and the Grand River, or relaxing on the rear deck enjoying the fruits the owners gardening. This home is a gem! Some lucky person will be spoiled living here!
