Property Description

Just minutes from Michigan State University and the heart of downtown East Lansing, this 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath home offers the rare blend of timeless charm and meaningful modern updates. Hardwood floors run throughout, setting a warm, classic tone that's enhanced by fresh paint and trim. The main living space feels both inviting and intentional, anchored by a Vermont Castings fireplace and complemented by recessed lighting. A private study with built-in bookshelves, a top-of-the-line Mendota gas fireplace, and French doors overlooking the backyard creates an ideal retreat for working from home, reading, or quiet evenings in. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the four-seasons sunroom features porcelain tile flooring, oversized sun-filled west-facing windows, and a walk-out to a utopian garden with a custom paver patio and bench.

Upstairs, the oversized primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet, while additional bedrooms feature built-ins, updated windows, and charming original touches. Enjoy the convenience of two full baths on the second floor, along with well-preserved original black and white tilework. You will love the additional living space in the lower level with new flooring. Major mechanical updates include a high-efficiency furnace with an air purifier and humidifier, central air with a dehumidifier, a new water heater, lots of updated plumbing, a 200-amp electrical panel, and new kitchen appliances. The insulated attic with new windows offers future expansion options. A true East Lansing gem, this home blends timeless character, thoughtful updates, and a coveted location—an opportunity that rarely comes along and never lasts long. Home located in rental overlay district- owner occupants only.
