There is nothing else out there quite like this...Nestled in the charming Chesterfield Hills neighborhood, this whimsical 2.5 story beauty is oozing with character, enhanced over the years by the personal touches of its owners. Just steps from Michigan State University, this home welcomes you with a beautifully crafted brick and concrete front porch (added in 2013) and features a custom arched front door worthy of a Tolkein novel. Enter into a vaulted vestibule adorned with its original hanging fixture. Once inside, discover oak floors, built ins and original trim throughout. The cozy living room boasts a fireplace and clever, open wall niches that invite natural light. Adjacent to the living room, a sunny office/den awaits, complete with a renovated half bath.

Attached kitchen offers ample cabinetry, double oven, stainless energy-star appliances and a laundry chute that has become indispensable to the current owner.

Ascend the upper hall staircase to find a large third-floor space, perfect for use as a study, playroom or additional bedroom featuring high ceilings and tons of built-in bookshelves. The roof and skylights were replaced in 2020, boosting the home's energy efficiency. Downstairs, an energy-efficient furnace/heat pump installed in 2012 guarantees year-round comfort, while on-demand hot water was added in 2018. The property also includes a one-car detached garage, ample parking in the lengthy driveway, and a large metal sculpture adorning the back retaining wall. Truly, this home is incomparable in location and charm and we haven't even talked about all the amazing neighbors. It is a wonderful community, walkable to everything.
