Some houses make you choose between a good location and a good house. This one doesn't. You're close enough to Michigan State to feel the energy on a fall Saturday, a quick run from Frandor when you forgot the one thing for dinner, and the highways are right there when you're headed anywhere else. It also sits in one of the best rated school districts in the greater Lansing area, with "Niche" assiging an "A" grade. The sellers spent 2024 doing the work you'd normally put off for a year. Fresh paint from room to room, luxury vinyl flooring, a new washer and dryer, a water softener, and reverse osmosis at the tap. The quad-level layout gives you 2,192 square feet to spread out in, with three bedrooms, two baths, and a two-car attached garage. Don't miss the "smart" touches (lock, smoke detectors, Hue lighting) are already in place, and the furniture is available too if you'd like to skip that shopping trip. Ask your agent for details on what's available that remains with the property.
