Matterport 3D Tours

Located at 974 Front Ave NW in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this two-floor loft-style unit offers a distinctive industrial-modern aesthetic spread across two levels. The main floor serves as the primary living area, featuring polished tile flooring with a marble-like finish, crisp white walls, and soaring ceilings with exposed painted beams that lend a raw, warehouse-inspired character. A built-in kitchen peninsula with a light wood finish and integrated sink anchors the space, while track lighting mounted along the ceiling provides focused illumination throughout. A carpeted staircase with a sleek black metal handrail connects the main floor to the upper mezzanine level. The mezzanine, finished with carpet underfoot and the same striking exposed beam ceiling, overlooks the main level and is bathed in natural light from large industrial-style grid windows that frame views of the surrounding neighborhood. The bathroom is thoughtfully appointed with warm wood cabinetry featuring matte black hardware, a white countertop vanity, and polished tile flooring that complements the main living area. Stainless grab bars add a practical touch. A hallway and two staircase areas complete the layout, contributing to the efficient and well-connected flow between floors. This unit combines urban industrial character with clean, contemporary finishes.
