About this House

Welcome home to 438 Bailey, a charming upgraded brick two story colonial in the heart of the Bailey neighborhood. This home has been meticulously upgraded & cared for, it is truly one of the jewels of the area. The gourmet kitchen was remodeled in 2011 by McDaniels w newer appliances, cabinets, Granite counter tops, wood floors, electrical, etc, & the 1st floor half bath was upgraded at the same time. All New Marvin windows were installed in 1995. A newer GFA high efficiency furnace 2013, & the central air was upgraded a few years before in 2007. You will love the 1st floor office/den, which the current owners designed & had built in 1995 & at the same time they redid the concrete driveway. No need to worry about a leaky basement here, as there exists a B-Dry basement waterproofing system and sump pump with backup. The brickwork on this home is in fabulous condition as owners had tuck pointing performed in 2014 along with replacing the chimney cap. Each of the rooms is light & bright, & the gleaming hardwood floors are amazing. The location is superior with being a corner lot, & walking distance schools, Hannah center, MSU/dntwn, & several parks close by. Enjoy the front porch, & private back deck, while being close to everything. Ample storage in the lower level with egress windows installed in 2003, & the detached 2 car garage has lots of space to store the toys with newer doors installed in 2012. There's almost nothing left to do, but move in & enjoy this lovely home. 3 TV's & Wall Mounts stay (Kit,Office,Rec Rm).

    "The neighborhood has become very seedy, especially after the city cut down most of the large trees that made this place special. Trees add value to properties and they take decades to replace. I'm looking to leave East Lansing soon!"

    "I walk to work at MSU. It’s wonderful summer, spring and fall. Winter is often beautiful as well. The sidewalks in most of our area are well cared for. Although, in student rental areas are iffy. There are lots of people walking almost everyday. If I drive, it takes me 5 minutes door to door."

    "I've lived in this neighborhood for 6 years. It's a mixture of university professors / staff and young families. I think it's vibrant and friendly. Very walkable. It's 1 mile to WholeFoods. 4 blocks to Starbucks, CVS and restaurants."

    "Two many students live in the area and trash the area. Just drive around and see all the litter and trash in the yards and streets. East lansing mhas cut back on city services so now the city sewers are plugged up and flooding on the city streets happen all the time as is now."
