Whether you're a homeowner craving space to grow or an investor seeking income potential, this home offers a rare blend of character, flexibility, and location in the heart of Grand Rapids. Step inside this Grand Rapids charmer with more space and flexibility than you imagined. The main floor welcomes you with a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, office, two bedrooms, and a full bath—everything you need for comfortable daily living. Upstairs, the possibilities open wide: a second full kitchen, full bath, balcony deck, and three additional rooms. Use it as a private guest suite, multi-generational living space, or house-hacking setup with rental potential. The finished third floor adds even more square footage for a rec room, art studio, or creative retreat. With two full lots, there is plenty of space to spread outside. Spend your evenings on the enclosed back porch or host friends on the deck overlooking the backyard. The seller also notes the side lot is prepped for an organic garden. Practical updates bring peace of mind: newer roof, updated mechanicals, instant hot water, generator, underground sprinkling, and a double lot for added privacy or potential. Please call 800-203-8713 ext 3254 for more information and to schedule a private tour.
