About 420 John R St
*Mid-Century Charm Meets Modern Mischief * 420 John R St. is a perfect balance of timeless class with a wink of character. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath midcentury gem neighbors Marble Elementary and MacDonald Middle schools. You could walk there with your eyes closed (but don’t). Step inside and you’ll find vintage charm with a modern edge — kind of like your childhood home, but with way better Wi-Fi. The full, unfinished basement is a blank canvas—home gym, rec room, or perhaps just an epic storage zone for your future holiday decoration empire. A new roof (2022) keeps you confidently covered, while the fenced backyard provides just enough privacy for secret garden ambitions or covert hammock naps. And yes, you can bike to MSU campus faster than you can say "Go Green!"
