About This Home
As of March 2021Welcome to the neighborhood! The Alger Heights District has a small town feel but is just a 10 minute drive to the city of Grand Rapids. This home is a real charmer with natural wood floors, newer roof and newer appliances. Plenty of space in the unfinished basement for storage. This home is close to the heart of it all with thriving businesses like the local grocery and hardware store. There are many unique shops including the dog and cat salon (and a salon for people). You won't go hungry! Real Food Cafe and Old Goat are just to name a few! You won't go thirsty either! Head to Bass Ring Brewery for some drinks. Appliances included. Possession at close! All offers due Friday, February 12th at 5pm.
