Description

Welcome to your beautifully renovated dream home, nestled on 108 feet of serene Muskegon River frontage right in the city of Big Rapids. With 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and high-end updates throughout, this home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and natural beauty. The heart of the home is the custom kitchen—completely redone in spring 2021 with quartz countertops, a stainless steel farmhouse sink, gas range/convection oven, built-in microwave, and a stunning island that seats five (yes, the stools stay!). Designed by West Michigan Kitchen Studio, it features custom cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, new flooring, and oversized pendant lighting. The attached dining area easily seats 10 with a picture-perfect view of the river. The spacious layout includes a walk-in pantry/laundry room with custom storage, butcher block counters, sink, and washer/dryer (new in March 2021). Two bathrooms were fully renovated in summer 2021 with beautiful tiled showers. Stay cozy year-round with mini-split systems in the kitchen and two upper bedrooms, and enjoy peace of mind with a new boiler and hot water units (Jan 2022), new stair carpet (March 2025), and fresh exterior paint (June 2025). From morning coffee on the deck to evenings watching the river roll by, this home is a rare findoffering space, style, and the ultimate riverfront lifestyle.
