Property Description
NOW offering FHA, VA, and MSHDA Location, charm, and convenience—842 California NW has it all! This super cute 3-bed, 1-bath ranch sits just steps from downtown Grand Rapids and some of the best local spots like Lantern Coffee Bar and Morning Ritual. A stone's throw from John Ball Zoo and close to GVSU, this home is perfect for students, young professionals, or anyone looking to live in the heart of the action. Inside, you'll find a bright and inviting living space with updated flooring, a functional layout, and plenty of natural light. The eat-in kitchen offers ample cabinet space and room to entertain, while the three spacious bedrooms provide comfortable living for roommates, by yourself, or a work-from-home setup. The full basement offers great storage potential—or room to finish for even more living space—and the backyard is perfect for pets, gardening, or hosting friends. A private driveway adds off-street parking convenience.
