Property Description

Welcome to 500 Lafayette Ave SE. This home has been brought back to life since it was built in 1880. This home has been carefully updated and restored. Most of its original moldings, pocket doors, fireplace and character adorn the home. Couple that with updated electrical, plumbing, drywall, kitchen and bathrooms and you truly have the best of the old and new. This home has 10' ceilings on the main floor, tall windows and generous space throughout. This is a great home for entertaining. Upstairs you will find 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Close to St. Mary's hospital, wealthy street and all that downtown GR has to offer. The home has a beautiful wrap around front porch which gives the perfect sunset vantage.
