This beautifully updated ranch offers scenic wooded ravine views out back—tucked away in a quiet setting, yet still just minutes from everything Grand Rapids has to offer. As you step inside, you'll notice the new COREtec LVP flooring throughout, modern light fixtures, and the star of the show: the completely renovated kitchen. It's spacious and thoughtfully designed with quartz countertops, a large island, GE Profile Series stainless steel appliances, soft-close drawers, under-cabinet lighting, and stylish shiplap accents that bring it all together. Right off the kitchen are two generous living spaces, the first with a large bay window and the second with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and slider to the backyard. All three main-floor bedrooms are spacious and recently updated with new carpet or COREtec flooring. The full bathroom features dual sinks and an adorable wallpapered nook. Other conveniences you'll appreciate are a main floor laundry room immediately adjacent to the kitchen, an additional bath, push up-pull down blinds as well as an attached 2 stall garage, Downstairs, the large basement is loaded with storage space and, with a brand new egress window, easily has potential for a fourth bedroom- an opportunity to add future value and extra square footage to the home. Step out onto the expansive, north-facing deck, complete with built-in benches, and take in the lush greenery and the deer, turkeys, birds and surrounding wildlife. The large and private lot is an ideal spot for summer barbecues or get-togethers, offering plenty of shade throughout the day. The convenient underground sprinkling system keeps the yard looking fresh all season long. This home is beautifully updated and full of charmtucked into a quiet neighborhood with mature trees all around. Come take a look and see why this one's easy to love! All offers due by Tuesday 5/13/25 at 10am.
