300 Calkins Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49506

Gorgeous, classic 100+ year home. Nothing about this home says rental as it was our family home before moving away for a doctoral program. Beautiful brick 2.5 bath, 4 bedroom (3 on second floor, 1 in basement) home for rent beginning approximately mid March. Incredible walkable/bus-able location! 4 houses away from #6 bus and #5 is about a 1 minute walk from your door. Both take you downtown and the Six gets you to Woodland Mall and 28th street. 1 mile from downtown. 1.5 blocks from both Cherry St. Business District and Wealthy St. Business District. 5-10 minute walk to Farmers Market/Fulton St. Business District and Eastown. Many of the best restaurants and breweries in the city (plus many and other lovely businesses) are within a 10 minute walk. Enclosed huge 3 season front sun-room/porch. Oversized working pocket door between dining and living room allows for more privacy when wanting less of an open-concept design and more of an intimate or formal meal. 3 Classic craftsman stained-glass windows Large walk-in Coatroom with craftsman wall paper. Beautiful restored barn wood shiplap in small bedroom Neighbors on both sides of this home care well for their properties. Full Bath renovated Summer of 2021. Kitchen fully renovated in 2008.
