Property Description
Welcome to a truly distinctive custom-built L-shaped brick ranch in the highly desirable Shaw Estates neighborhood of East Lansing. With exceptional space, timeless curb appeal, and a long list of thoughtful custom features, this walkout home offers the kind of character and flexibility that is hard to find in today's cookie-cutter construction. The heart of the home is the beautifully updated custom kitchen by McDaniels, featuring a SubZero refrigerator, solid surface countertops, abundant cabinetry, and an impressive amount of storage. The inviting living room features a brick fireplace and direct access to the deck, where you can enjoy peaceful views overlooking the private yard. The main level offers three bedrooms, including an oversized pri mary suite with a charming bay window and attached full bath. An additional full bath, convenient mainfloor laundry, and half bath add to the functionality of the space. The generous layout provides plenty of room for everyday living as well as entertaining. The finished walkout lower level expands the living space considerably, offering two additional bedrooms, a full bath, built-in office and desk space, and a comfortable bar complete with wine refrigerator and additional storage. From the lower level, step directly onto the patio and into the private backyard; a wonderful setting for relaxing, gathering, or enjoying the outdoors. Storage is abundant throughout the home, making it easy to accommodate everything from everyday essentials to hobbies and seasonal items. While the home could benefit from a little TLC and some personal touches, it has been exceptionally well cared for and includes important updates such as a newer roof and gutters and a basement waterproofing system. With its spacious floor plan, five bedrooms, multiple living areas, private yard, walkout design, excellent East Lansing location, and abundance of custom details, this is a home with tremendous potential and personality. If you're looking for something with character, space, and features you simply don't find in a typical ranch, this Shaw Estates gem is worth a closer look.
