About this home
Charming Cape Cod home situated on more than three quarters of an acre which backs up to Forest View Park, offers a rare combination of privacy, outdoor space, and convenience. The exterior provides exceptional flexibility with a long circular driveway featuring new pavement and gravel, a one car garage with electrical upgrades for an EV charger, a carport with ample clearance for a camper or boat trailer, and additional parking. There's a spacious front and backyard, a newly stained front deck, and a freshly poured concrete patio at the rear entrance creating inviting spaces to enjoy the outdoors. Inside, the home offers a generous formal dining room and a classic kitchen with a gas stove. Adjacent to the kitchen is a charming breakfast room or butler's pantry that provides additional storage and workspace while adding character to the home. The welcoming family room showcases warm knotty pine walls, a fireplace, built-in shelving, and large windows that fill the space with natural light from both the east and west. A custom mini split heating and cooling system allows for individualized comfort throughout the seasons, plus there's central air throughout the home. Two main-level bedrooms feature hardwood floors and flank the spacious bathroom which includes a walk-in shower. The expansive upstairs bedroom offers abundant closet space, additional open storage, and its own heat and cooling controls. A new roof was installed just 8 months ago. With its cottage character, generous lot, and versatile parking, this home presents a unique opportunity in a convenient location.

Forest View, located between W Saginaw St and the Grand River, is a residential and park-adjacent Lansing neighborhood with mature tree canopy and mid-century streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the W Saginaw St corridor near the Waverly Rd junction, where small storefronts, diners, and service shops set a steady, everyday rhythm. Housing leans toward ranches and split-levels with deep setbacks and generous yards, framed by pockets of woodland. Riverfront paths and nearby greenspace shape a walk-and-roll routine. Community touchstones include Horrocks Farm Market, the Lansing Mall, and the Michigan History Center for errands and culture beyond the blocks.
