You want space, a smart layout, and a neighborhood you'll actually love. That combination is harder to find than it should be. Most homes in this price range make you trade something: the main-floor primary, the finished basement, the three-car garage, the quiet street. Or they are newer builds in neighborhoods that feel like every lot was stamped from the same template. This house is a different kind of find. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Fairway Estates - one of Lansing's most established and sought-after neighborhoods = this 4-bedroom, 3-bath ranch puts everything you need on one level, with serious bonus space below. At 2,451 finished square feet, this home doesn't just give you room to live, it gives you room to breathe. The main floor flows the way a ranch should - open great room with vaulted ceilings and fireplace, a well-appointed kitchen with granite counters, island, and walk-in pantry, and a primary suite with a walk-in closet that connects directly to the laundry room. Main-level convenience isn't a buzzword here, it's baked into the floor plan. Downstairs, the finished basement opens up possibilities most homes in this range simply don't offer: a theater or flex room, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and storage that actually solves problems. Whether you need space for a growing family, a relocation that requires flexibility, or just room for life's overflow - it's here. Step outside and the neighborhood does the rest. A walking path and pond are nearby, the cul-de-sac keeps traffic minimal, and Eisenhower Road puts Fort Leavenworth and the rest of the metro within easy reach.
