Don't let the modest front exterior fool you—this expansive walkout ranch is a remarkable hidden gem located right in the city, one you've likely driven past without ever realizing it was there. Nestled on 1.5 secluded acres in the highly sought-after Forest Hills Eastern School District, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath walkout ranch offers over 3,200 square feet of finished living space and breathtaking views of private, 10-acre Shadow Lake with no public access. Step inside to an inviting open-concept floor plan featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, skylights, a stunning fieldstone fireplace, and walls of glass that showcase the spectacular waterfront setting. The spacious kitchen with center island flows effortlessly into the living and dining areas, making it ideal for entertaining. The main-floor primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a recently remodeled ensuite bath featuring a walk-in tile shower, double vanity, and radiant heated tile floors. Relax on the classic country-style front porch or take in panoramic lake views from the expansive maintenance-free composite deck spanning the entire back of the home. The finished walkout lower level offers a spacious family room with a second fireplace and direct access to the backyard, where you'll find a lush lawn leading to the patio with fire pit and the water's edge, complete with a brand-new $27,000 dock. Two additional bedrooms (one non-conforming with a walk-through layout) and a full bath provide plenty of space for guests or a home office. Recent improvements include new vinyl siding, exterior doors, three Andersen sliding patio doors, a concrete driveway, sidewalks, and a fire pit. Additional features include a 2½-stall attached garage and the rare opportunity to enjoy a private waterfront lifestyle while remaining just minutes from everything Grand Rapids has to offer. Experience peaceful lakefront living with incredible sunsets and endless opportunities for kayaking, fishing, swimming, and creating lifelong memories.
