Property Description
Welcome to this beautifully updated, move-in ready home in the heart of highly sought-after Alger Heights one of Grand Rapids' most loved neighborhoods, celebrated for its charm, strong sense of community, and exceptional walkability. Just steps from local favorites including parks, playgrounds, the library, restaurants, ice cream shops, and the neighborhood hardware store, this location offers the perfect blend of convenience and character. Inside, timeless hardwood floors extend throughout much of the home, while the kitchen features large modern tile flooring, updated cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, fresh paint, and a brand-new microwave installed in 2025. Thoughtful updates and tasteful finishes create a space that feels both modern and welcoming. The main floor also features two generously sized bedrooms, an updated bathroom, and a charming, spacious living room complete with a cozy fireplace with classic mantel and tile surround creating a warm and inviting space to gather and relax. The lower level offers endless possibilities for future use and great storage. A bonus "non-conforming" bathroom (without a sink) adds extra functionality to the space. Step outside to enjoy a relatively private backyard retreat complete with a spacious three-seasons room and anewer deck ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying Michigan summers. Major improvements provide peace of mind, including a new roof (2018), windows (2018), furnace (2018), water heater (2026), A/C (2020), deck (2020), along with updated plumbing and electrical. The home also includes a security system that may be reactivated with a subscription, and all three exterior security cameras will remain with the property. This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated home in this price range in one of Grand Rapids' most walkable and desirable communities. Seller has delayed review of offers until May 26, 2026 at 10 AM.
