It's perfectly placed along beautiful tree-lined streets in the heart of it all and just a stone's throw from popular restaurants, shopping, cafes, trails, parks, expressways, minutes from Downtown GR, and the perfect connector from NE to NW side!

You'll truly enjoy from a moment's glance and ''ALL THAT'S NEW'' with a beautiful facade, new metal roof, new siding, new maintenance-free deck with metal rail, lavished plantings, and so much more! The charming vestibule opens to an impressive staircase wrapped in history with rich architectural details, classic wood newel posts and rails, and plank wood floors that expand throughout the main floor.

Picture entering the lower level of this historic home where the Mayor of Grand Rapids and Police Chief were said to enjoy whiskey and bourbon smuggled through trap doors of the garage into the lounge and dance floor of this "speakeasy" during the days of prohibition!

Now recreated as a great "in-law suite" or recreational area with a newly renovated "dry/wet bar", a non-conforming bedroom, laundry, and plenty of storage. Attached side entry garage wired to charge cars included!
