Property Description
This home is where timeless character, unbeatable location, and everyday versatility come together under one roof. Nestled in the heart of Belknap Lookout, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath home checks every box, and then some. From the moment you step inside, the stunning original woodwork, gorgeous hardwood floors, and soaring 9-foot ceilings on the main level set the tone for everything this home has to offer. The updated kitchen blends modern convenience with classic appeal, while spacious living and dining rooms provide plenty of room for everyday life and entertaining alike. Just minutes from the Medical Mile, Michigan Street corridor, downtown Grand Rapids, restaurants, shopping, and everything the city has to offer. Whether you're a first-time buyer, healthcare professional, or savvy investor. 249 Fairbanks is the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around often. This home offers an excellent investment opportunity for students, interns and more. Three of the four bedrooms feature exceptionally large closets, a rare find in a home of this era and a detail you won't take for granted. Downstairs, the dry basement with tall ceilings offers excellent storage and a ready-made workshop or bonus space. Step outside and you'll find a private, fenced backyard framed by mature shrubbery, a peaceful retreat for relaxing, gardening, or gathering along with a detached 2-stall garage situated on an open lot with endless possibilities for outdoor entertaining.
