About This Home
As of August 2018Welcome to 715 Merrill. Located just a few miles from Michigan State University and Downtown Lansing, this cute home has a recent roof that should last for years and years. Enjoy the relaxed ambience of the fireplace in the comfy living room. Note the abundance of cabinets in the kitchen as you wander to the spacious dining area and the deck in the back of the home. Two 1st floor bedrooms are serviced by a full bathroom with a unique design in the shower/tub. And built in drawers on the first and second floors provide welcome storage areas hat you don't see in newer built homes. The Upstairs also has been supplied with duct work and vents for circulation of warm and cool air for a private bedroom with its own alcove with a window. Plus the basement has an egress window supplying natural light for the family den (with bar), or a lower concourse bedroom that is naturally cool in the summer time. A 1/2 bath is a bonus for your family and friends. While a private driveway and one-car garage provide a nice haven for your vehicle, and provide additional storage spaces we can always use. This is worth a look, and beats the costs of renting. Contact your Realtor and see for yourself....
