for $265,000 with 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. This 1,397 square foot home was built in 1925 on a lot size of 0.14.
Set on two lots just minutes from Riverside Park, your new home delivers the kind of usable space that buyers in this price range rarely find. This 3 bedroom ranch offers almost 1,400 square feet of functional single level living, two separate one car garages, a dedicated workspace, a shed, and a large horseshoe driveway designed for real life. From the curb, the difference is clear. The home sits slightly off the road, creating a sense of space and presence. The expansive horseshoe driveway makes daily parking simple and stress free. Whether you have multiple vehicles, enjoy hosting, or just want room to maneuver comfortably, this layout works. The standout feature is flexibility. Two separate one car garages, including one with workspace, provide options that are difficult to find in this area. Storage for tools, recreational equipment, seasonal items, or extra vehicles is built in. The additional shed adds even more functional space. Inside, the ranch layout offers comfort, space and practicality. Three bedrooms provide room to sleep, work from home, or create a hobby space. The living room features durable LVP flooring and off the kitchen, the wood fireplace adds warmth and character, while the additional family room provides flexible space. The kitchen showcases well preserved charm, giving buyers the opportunity to take advantage of it, or personalize over time rather than paying for a cosmetic flip. The basement is clean, walkable and usable, with plumbing ran for a toilet, and a rooms suited for hobbies or storage among other potential options. Major mechanical improvements bring peace of mind. The furnace and central AC were replaced in 2022. The water heater is newer. The roof is in good condition. These updates reduce near term expense concerns and strengthen long term value. Location elevates the opportunity. Close to Riverside Park and convenient to downtown Grand Rapids, this home keeps you connected to trails, green space, dining, and city amenities while offering driveway and garage space many nearby properties lack. For buyers seeking a 3 bed ranch in Grand Rapids that balances location, practicality, and price, this property stands out. It works for first time buyers focused on affordability, hobby driven homeowners who need space, or anyone wanting proximity to Riverside Park without premium pricing. The setup is rare, the location is proven, the price makes sense, come see it before it is gone. Selling as is.
