Charming Lansing Home

What I Love:

Some homes immediately feel like they have stories tucked into every corner. This one is exactly that. From the moment you step onto the wide covered porch, you feel the comfort, history, and character that make older homes so special.

Inside, the original trim, hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, and stone fireplace create a setting that feels warm, genuine, and beautifully lived in. The dining room glows with natural light from its bay window, and the layout flows easily into an oversized kitchen with an island, pantry, and abundant cabinet space. It is the kind of kitchen where people gather without even trying.

While the home is listed as is, it offers a wonderful opportunity for a first home, a downsize, or a smart investment. The space already has strong bones and personality, and a few thoughtful updates could make it shine even brighter.

Upstairs, the three bedrooms offer generous space and large closets. The full basement provides extra storage or future finishing options. Outside, mature trees offer shade and privacy, and the adorable playhouse just needs a little attention to become the perfect hideaway for kids or a creative backyard studio.

About the Town:

This home sits in one of Lansing’s most walkable, welcoming neighborhoods. Just steps from the lively Michigan Avenue corridor, you can stroll to local coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries, and a mix of favorite hometown businesses. The area has a strong community vibe that makes everyday life feel connected and convenient.

You are just minutes from downtown Lansing and Michigan State University, making it an ideal spot for commuters, students, or anyone who loves having great food, entertainment, parks, and city life close by. Tree lined streets, friendly neighbors, and that classic Midwestern warmth make this area truly special.

Agents Comment:

Just steps from the lively Michigan Avenue corridor—where local coffee shops, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites line the street—this classic home offers timeless charm with everyday comfort. Enjoy the convenience of being minutes from downtown Lansing and Michigan State University while living in one of the city's most walkable and community-minded areas. The star of the show is the huge covered front porch...essentially a second living room all summer long. Inside, you'll find beautiful original trim, hardwood floors, a stunning stone fireplace, leaded glass windows, and a bay window in the dining room that floods the space with natural light. Every corner radiates character and craftsmanship. The kitchen is enormous, featuring an island, pantry, and plenty of cabinets and counter space for cooking, gathering, or late-night homework sessions. Just off the kitchen, the enclosed mudroom makes the perfect drop zone for muddy boots, soccer bags, and backpacks. A convenient half bath rounds out the main floor. Upstairs, you'll find three generous bedrooms with huge closets and a full bathroom. The home also includes a full basement for storage or future finishing potential, plus a lovely backyard shaded by mature trees. The charming playhouse just needs a little love to become the ultimate hideout or backyard studio. A beautiful mix of history, warmth, and walkable urban living—this one's easy to fall for.
