Lansing 3BR near downtown — Game room & EV garage

Ten minutes from Michigan State University, walkable to Downtown Lansing, and close to the Lansing River Trail — this three-bedroom home at 1404 East Oakland brings something most Lansing rentals skip: a basement game room with foosball, ping pong, indoor fireplace, and surround sound that earns the top line in nearly every review. Reviews call it a clean, accurate listing in a location that works equally well for MSU visits, family stays, and multi-night work trips.

The main living room has a 65-inch TV with surround sound. The basement game room includes foosball, ping pong, board games, an indoor fireplace, and a second TV — guests consistently call it a genuine highlight, with one noting "the extra basement amenities were awesome." The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances and opens to a dining area. A private deck and partially fenced backyard round out the outdoor space, with a gas grill included.

The main level features an open-concept living and dining area. The living room has a 65-inch Smart TV with surround sound, comfortable seating, and a record player.

The three bedrooms are configured across two floors. Two bedrooms are on the main level, each with dedicated closet space and room-darkening shades. The loft bedroom features a new dedicated air conditioning unit. Sleeping configuration: Queen (Bedroom 1) | Queen (Bedroom 2) | Two Twins (Loft). Capacity: up to 6 guests across 2 bathrooms.
