4576 Herron Road

4576 Herron has that cozy, tucked-away feel people are always hoping to find in Okemos. Set on 1.85 acres backing up to Herron Creek, the home is surrounded by mature trees and feels peaceful, private, and a little bit storybook—yet it is only a few blocks from Michigan State University. Inside, the original fireplace and dining area with built-ins bring the cottage charm, while the full basement and attached garage add the practical space everyone needs. The fenced yard gives you room to garden, play, relax, or just enjoy the setting, and the separate outbuilding—currently used as a chicken coop—adds a fun touch of country living. A sweet, serene property in and established neighborhood with character, space, and plenty to love.
