This Beechwood classic is a rare find in East- a newer c.2000 built all brick home uniquely located across from wooded, city-owned property, and immediately next to a grassy, vacant, city-owned lot- offering tremendous privacy and the magic of the natural world just outside your door- all within the heart of East Grand Rapids. It has a spacious feel, quality finishes, and wonderful natural light. The layout is open concept, but also has nice separation between living spaces. There is a main level office or bedroom / guest room with custom floor to ceiling shelving; main level laundry, powder room, and a mud room. The main level has two living spaces that are separated by French doors. The larger living room has a 'room within a room' near the cozy gas log fireplace- the ceiling is vaulted and looks out on the back yard, with windows letting the natural light in on both sides. The kitchen has classic white cabinetry with plenty of storage space plus a center island and eating nook. A slider off the kitchen leads to the back deck, which overlooks the established, mature landscaping and swing set. A tall, wrought iron fence surrounds the back yard; the fence has convenient gates on both sides of the house. The second floor contains 4 additional bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet. The Carrara marble bath has dual sinks and a jetted soaking tub. The lower level has a mix of finished and unfinished space- there is lots of room for living, home gym, or future expansion- plus a full bath already in place on the lower level. New smoke detectors (2023); New zoned HVAC (5/2022); New high-capacity water heater- always with enough hot water to fill the jetted primary bath and shower at the same time (3/2025); Most appliances are recent. Located just .7 miles from Lakeside Elementary, .8 miles from EGR Middle School, 1.2 miles from Gaslight Village, 1.3 miles to Breton Village shopping and dining (Leigh's, Anthropologie, Free People, Lululemon, West Elm); 1.3 miles from Fresh Thyme and The Yard Gym.
