About This Home

As of October 2014

There's a lot of opportunity with this two family income property in NW Grand Rapids. The downstairs unit (currently vacant) would be great for owner occupant who wants to earn rental income and live in a spacious apartment with character. Both units are 2 bed, 1 bath. Separate gas/electric and heating units. Lower unit features hardwood flooring, original doors and woodwork and a huge kitchen. Ample street parking is available, but really not needed, as you have a 2 stall garage and off street parking behind the home. Newer roof and mechanicals, just needs some exterior cosmetic detail.
