Motivated seller. Price dropped significantly below market value. House to be taken off the market at Thanksgiving and relisted at market price in spring. Conservative estimate for renting the 1 bedroom unit on Airbnb is 40k annually! Live for FREE in a 5 bedroom historic home in just a short walk from the wealthy corridor! This Could be Grand Rapids Finest Legal Airbnb! (City of GR restricts Short Term Rentals to just one bedroom in an already owner occupied dwelling.) This incredible home has a fully functioning 1 bedroom apartment directly attached! A lot of love and care has gone into remodeling! Reclaimed boards and lane markers from a bowling alley built in the 70's add character to the kitchen island. Original light fixtures throughout. Easy to convert back to single family. Lots of room to build a garage with plenty of off street parking.
