1017 Lake Michigan Drive NW

Welcome to this charming gem near some of the best restaurants, parks, and bars around on the Westside (bestside!). It's a prime location, just a quick uber, walk, bike, or scooter to downtown Grand Rapids. It has a charming exterior, warm living spaces with original hardwood floors, and minty trim inspired by the Mill Glen Arbor. There are 3 bedrooms and a full bath upstairs (with glossy black midcentury tile), plus a bonus room or fourth bedroom on the main level- along with an adjacent updated half bath. The yard is fully fenced via a gate across the driveway and privacy fences frame the rest of the back yard. There is a deck out back for grilling, grassy green space for hanging out or playing lawn games, and a 240 square foot detached garage with character-filled doors that swing open. The unfinished basement has a 'utility bathroom' and lots of room for storage. Major mechanicals are new- new water heater and all new HVAC in 2025 including central air; newer stainless steel appliances. Lake Michigan Drive is a beautiful tree-lined street with bike lanes, just .8 miles from the downtown YMCA and new Amway professional soccer stadium, 1.4 miles to the new Acrisure Amphitheater, 1 mile to Butcher's Union, Gin Gin's, and other Bridge St dining; .9 miles to the Bridge St Market grocery store, .8 miles to John Ball Zoo, and .8 miles from the GVSU Pew Campus downtown. 'Lake Michigan Drive' is aptly named, as it's a straight shot out to the lakeshore- head just 28.7 miles west and you will hit Lake Michigan itself- and Kirk Park Beach. This property offers a lot of blue sky in an area of major development. It offers great proximity to highways, GVSU's Pew campus, and all that downtown Grand Rapids has to offer- in a charming single family home. Showings begin Thursday, 3/5.
