Located at 974 Front Ave NW in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this two-story unit offers a clever use of space across two distinct levels. The main floor serves as the primary living area, featuring polished tile flooring, a built-in kitchenette with a wood-paneled base, integrated sink, and open shelving. A carpeted staircase with a sleek black metal handrail rises prominently from the main level and leads to the upper loft. Track lighting runs along the ceiling, complementing the industrial character of the exposed, whitewashed beam ceiling overhead. The main level also includes a well-appointed bathroom finished with warm wood cabinetry, black hardware, a white countertop vanity, and marble-style tile flooring, with accessibility-friendly grab bars installed. The upper loft level, accessed via the staircase, features carpeted flooring and benefits from striking natural light through large, multi-pane industrial-style windows that offer views of the surrounding area. The whitewashed exposed ceiling beams carry throughout both levels, lending a consistent loft aesthetic. A wall-mounted HVAC unit ensures year-round comfort. The overall design balances industrial architectural details with clean, modern finishes.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
