About This Home

As of October 2018

Fully updated home in Heritage Hill, with brand new kitchen appliances. The current owners have done an amazing job updating this property. Every room has been either entirely remodeled or freshened up. In addition to the interior being updated the home also has a roof that is only two years old and a newer furnace and hot water heater. Another great feature is the 2 stall garage and ample off street parking, so no need to search for a parking spot or deal with snow plows all winter. The property is also a short 4 block walk to Wealthy Street where you can enjoy all the restaurants like Donkey Tequeria and Johnny B's and bars like Elks Brewing and the Winchester. Enjoy quick access to the highway and close proximity to downtown Grand Rapids. Could also make a great rental property.
