About This Home

As of August 2015

Step back in time and live the good life all within the City of Grand Rapids in this secluded homestead tucked away like a treehouse on the city's Northwest side. Rich wood floors, original wood trim, and pleasing floor plan with plenty of natural light awaits. Three good sized bedrooms, with a potential 4th in the finished third floor attic. 1.5 baths, kitchen with 42'' oak upper cabinets and bonus living space on the four season front porch. Master BR closet is plumbed for a potential half bath. You will use the outdoor space as much as the indoor space. Awesome shaded deck for evening gathering, massive side and back yard for play, and sledding. Fenced in area for the dog to run. A must see is the cold war era bomb shelter annexed to the origianal basement. Sauna in basement needs electrical hookup. Two stall garage with bonus half stall with overhead rolling door.
