About this House

A ranch home configured, almost by design, for the buyer who wants their mortgage partially paid by someone else. The layout tells the story: five bedrooms, three living areas, two full kitchens, and a fully finished lower level. That second kitchen is the pivot point — it turns a single-family home into two distinct living spaces without renovation, without permits pulled, without a contractor's timeline. Occupy the main level and let the lower level carry a share of the payment, or reverse it. The bones are already there. Location strengthens the case. Meridian Township offers a decidedly more settled pace than the neighborhoods pressed up against East Lansing's campus edge — quieter streets, longer tenancies, and a resident profile that tends toward graduate students, young professionals, and MSU staff rather than the churn of undergraduate turnover. The award-winning Okemos School District anchors long-term value regardless of how the property is used. The home itself has been thoughtfully updated: refreshed kitchens and baths, with new flooring carried throughout. It sits on a generous lot with an expansive yard — room for the outdoor life that campus-adjacent properties simply cannot offer. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and the MSU campus are all within a short drive. For the buyer who has read about house hacking and been waiting for the right property to execute it, this is that property — already updated, already configured, already in the right township. Call for your private tour.
