Overview

Welcome to 452 Howard Street SE, a compelling opportunity for buyers ready to take the important step into homeownership. This property is especially well suited for first time home buyers who are looking for an attainable entry point into the Grand Rapids housing market while building long-term equity instead of continuing to rent.

Buyers are encouraged to consult with a qualified lender to explore available options and confirm eligibility. To provide additional confidence, a 12-month home warranty is included, offering peace of mind as you settle into your new home. This added protection helps offset unexpected repair costs and supports a smoother transition into ownership. Location further enhances the value of this property. Situated just minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, the home offers convenient access to employment centers, dining, entertainment, and ongoing development.
