Description

*Photos coming 6/10, showings begin 6/11* In the heart of historic, walkable Chesterfield Hills, this classic 1955 Colonial blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and an unbeatable location steps from Michigan State University and the shops and cafés of downtown East Lansing. The home's original charm shines through its hardwood floors, traditional fireplace detailing, and graceful formal dining room, all complemented by clean, tasteful finishes throughout. The cherry kitchen features over and under cabinet lighting, a gas range, stainless appliances, and a welcoming breakfast bar that naturally draws people in. French doors open to a spacious deck overlooking a beautifully tiered backyard oasis— lush with easy care native perennials, thoughtfully landscaped for year round color, and offering peaceful views into the the trees. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms share an updated full bath. The tidy, dry basement provides abundant storage along with a finished rec room ideal for a home gym, office, or cozy hangout space. A luxurious Finnish sauna was added in 2023, a welcome retreat all year long. A large two car garage and a long list of major updates—new roof 2025, furnace/AC 2021, water heater 2016, sewer line 2013, and more—make this home as practical as it is charming. With its vibrant neighborhood energy, walkability, and lovingly maintained landscape, this is a place you're going to love to call
