You can achieve this by creating a menu item for the blog view of frontpage or content.

This will load a number of articles and paginate them. In the options, you will find Intro articles (on top), then the number of articles to load in columns, then a list of links. Put 0 on the links and on the first articles, and you will get your list of articles in a grid.

Depending on the template you are using, the settings of the menu link could be enough to achieve what you want; if not you can write a template override to display exactly what you want.
