This brick mid-century ranch on a corner lot in Mulick Park has been updated without losing any of its charm, and its two wood-burning fireplaces and sunroom make it a home for every season. Freshly refinished hardwood floors run from the living room, where a fireplace sits between big picture windows, into the remodeled kitchen. A vaulted ceiling sits above the gas range, farmhouse sink, subway tile and open shelving, and the peninsula seats two. Through French doors, the sunroom is wrapped in windows on every side, with enough room for a full dining table. It's also a quiet getaway for enjoying the fall colors, spring flowers and summer sunshine. Both main-floor bedrooms, including the primary with its walk-in closet, share a fully remodeled bath with a double vanity and a glass-enclosed tile shower. Downstairs, built-ins line the rec room (yay for extra storage), and a second fireplace means you can have a fire going upstairs and down just in time for the holidays. Rounding out the lower level are an office/flex room, a second full bath, and unfinished space for laundry, storage or a home gym. Out back, the private fenced yard has established perennials, glimmering café lights strung overhead, and a new shed. With recent chimney work, new gutters, and a Rachio smart sprinkler system, all that's left to do is move in. Walk to Mulick Park Elementary and Ottawa Hills High School, or take a short drive to Reeds Lake and the shops and restaurants of East Grand Rapids.
