*OPEN HOUSE MAY 3 12-2* Honoring the architectural integrity of its 1928 beginnings yet refreshed with thoughtful updates, this magical Bailey cottage is straight out of a storybook. Perfectly situated within an easy stroll of downtown, campus, and all three East Lansing public schools, you'll find graceful archways, gleaming hardwood floors, built ins, and sunlight that pours through every window. The first floor opens with a beautiful foyer leading into a spacious living room anchored by a stunning tile surround fireplace; on the other side a stately formal dining room. The updated kitchen is a dream, featuring Carrara marble countertops, custom cabinetry with remarkable storage, newer appliances, and a bright workspace nestled into the bay window. From here, pass through a generous mudroom with custom built ins to the attached two car garage. An updated half bath and a delightful four season sunroom complete the main level. Upstairs, the second floor offers three charming bedrooms—each with built ins—a large ceramic full bath, and a sunlit bonus room with windows on three sides, perfect for working from home, yoga, or simply daydreaming. The finished third level feels like a hidden retreat, boasting hardwood floors, a full bath, a huge closet, and cozy window seats. Outside, the home is wrapped in easy care perennials that bloom from April through September, creating a lush, colorful backdrop. The fenced backyard oasis, complete with a beautiful deck, offers a serene space for entertaining or unwinding. Additional features include a partially finished basement with a B Dry system, updated electrical, plumbing, appliances, and HVAC—all meticulously maintained. This is a home that has been deeply loved, cared for and is truly move in ready.
