Kettner

Were you able to tour the beautiful Kettner residence during the Grand Rapids Spring Parade of Homes two weeks ago?  If not, here is an opportunity to take a pictorial tour of this sprawling family home with character to spare.

Craftsman detailing and charming asymmetry on the exterior are paired with a luxurious hominess inside.  The formal entryway and living room lead into a spacious kitchen and circular dining area.  The screened porch offers additional dining and living space.  A beautiful master suite is situated at the other end of the main level.  Three bedroom suites and a large playroom are located on the top floor, while the lower level includes billiards, hearths, a refreshment bar, exercise space, a sauna and a guest bedroom.
