Description

River life awaits! This charming ranch home sits on over an acre in Forest Hills Public Schools, tucked behind a small thicket of woods along a winding driveway, all leading to breathtaking views of the Thornapple River. The home has been meticulously maintained through the decades, from the original 1941 20'x28' cabin to a 2019 addition featuring a basement, bedroom, dining room, and full kitchen remodel. Notable updates include a 24'x28' attached garage ('98); central air conditioning, whole-home generator, well, washer/dryer ('19); water softener, septic tank and drain field ('21); water heater ('24), and radon mitigation ('25) -- and those are just the big ones! Out back, enjoy 172 feet of private Thornapple River frontage, framed by mature trees on both sides. A spacious yard leads to a deck with sweeping river views, then down a hillside staircase to your own newer dock. The heavy lifting has been done for you, and only a few cosmetic touches remain. Now the fun part is yours!
