About Westside Connection
Westside Connection was annexed to Grand Rapids from the city of Walker in the early 1960s. It is now one of Grand Rapids' largest neighborhoods and it encompasses an array of housing, backgrounds and opportunities. The residents of Westside Connection and its neighboring community, West Grand, love their community and it shows! They proudly proclaim that 'the West Side is the Best Side!' This community has maintained its historic charm while experiencing a revitalization with new buildings and businesses that have popped up on its tree-lined streets. Westside Connection's residential neighborhood offers a block captain on every street, and residents know each other by name. In fact, they enjoy gathering at summer and fall festivals offered by St. Anthony's and the sound of polka music can often be heard on clear night. The beautiful Blandford Nature Center, located at the NW corner of the neighborhood, is also a popular destination for residents who enjoy wildlife, farming, and seasonal camps.

- Property Description: From the half-moon picture window to the guest house to the 3/4 acre lot, this unique Dutch Colonial Revival home in Walker has something for everyone, especially fans of Chip & Joanna! Inside this 4 bed, 2 bath home you'll find that many updates have been completed (see the attached list for details). The living room not only features that beautiful half-moon picture window so prevalent from the exterior but also a gas fireplace with a unique curved mantel and shelves. The rustic hardwood floors flow from the living room into the kitchen/dining area creating a cohesive feel to the main living space. A large island separates the kitchen work area from the dining area making the kitchen very functional while retaining the formal dining rooms of the past.At the rear of the main level is a large family room featuring a gas fireplace, skylights creating an almost sun-room feel. Walking upstairs you'll notice the freshly re-done staircase with tile landing. In addition to the original hardwood floors and heart pine trim, the upper-level is home to all 4 bedrooms, 2 of which have vaulted ceiling (an unusual feature for a home of this age), and a full bath. In addition to housing the mechanicals and laundry, the basement of this home is unique for its age with taller ceilings and includes a partially finished space ready to make your own. Outside you'll find the .78 acres of rolling hills is a gardener's dream. In addition to quite a bit of landscaping work, including a new retaining wall in the back and all-new plantings in the front, you find unique features like rain collection barrels and a gardening table complete with outdoor sink attached to the shed. The yard also features a productive apple tree, peonies, as well as blackberry, and blueberry bushes. The 2-plus car garage has plenty of space for vehicles as well as your toys. Rounding out the uniqueness of this home is the gate-house at the front of the property that's fully licensed as an income-generating rental property. What better way to offset expenses than having a tenant pay for a portion of the mortgage. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity, give us a call today.
