About This Home

As of February 2017

Here’s a good little vinyl wrapped wealth-builder! 4 nicely sized bedrooms & full bath up, spacious main floor down w. half bath. Big porch for summer-rear mudroom for winter. Add sweat equity, imagination, personal touch & have a place to call home. GR City Rent Certified thru 09/30/17. Excellent walking score to Wealthy District, easy bike ride Downtown just a few steps from prestigious Heritage Hill, 1/2 mile drive to the expressway & a 2 mile run to East Grand Rapids.
The “old” garage is gone but curbing & drive is there for “off-street” parking. Survey Included. This home also participated in “Get the Lead Out Program” & offers many newer vinyl replacement windows. Great “low rise” corner location with ''round-about''(no breaking & no acceleration noise from cars!) Union is “one-way” from Franklin-north & "two-way" on adjacent side street..keeping auto density low.
