Back on the market due to buyer financing falling through. Here's your opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind home in Lansing's desirable Eastside neighborhood. Beautifully updated, this home showcases finishes rarely found at this price point while still maintaining its original character. A brand-new roof and chimney, installed in 2022, add peace of mind and long-term value. The two main-floor bedrooms sit just steps away from a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring tile floors and a custom tile shower. The kitchen is designed for convenience, complete with quartz countertops and modern updates that blend seamlessly with the home's timeless style. Upstairs, you'll find a versatile bonus area—perfect as a playroom, office, or additional storage. The basement adds even more storage options, and the detached one-car garage is a bonus. Ideally located between MSU and downtown Lansing, this home offers the convenience of city living with the warmth of a carefully updated space. Move right in and enjoy modern amenities paired with Eastside charm!
