Welcome to 442 Emerald Avenue, a well-maintained two-unit property in Grand Rapids' sought-after Midtown neighborhood. Just one block from Michigan Avenue and the Medical Mile, and minutes from downtown, this location offers unbeatable access to restaurants, museums, theaters, and more. The lower unit features over 1,000 sq ft with an eat-in kitchen, stainless steel appliances, three bedrooms, one full bath, and in-unit laundry. The upper unit offers 800+ sq ft with two bedrooms and one bath. Both units have new flooring and are separately metered for gas and electricity, with tenants paying utilities directly. Rents are currently below market due to long-term, month-to-month tenants, creating strong investment potential. A rare find!
