Property Description
# One-Paragraph Listing Description Step back in time at 357 Leonard Street, affectionately known as "The Painted Lady on the Old Road to the Lake." Standing proudly along the historic route that once carried travelers west from Grand Rapids toward Lake Michigan, this distinctive home offers a rare combination of architectural character and West Michigan heritage.
