About the Listing 652712077148 - 65143228601551

This property is a true real estate unicorn because it is a completely updated, turn-key masterpiece nestled right in the heart of Grand Rapids' historic Heritage Hill, blending 1890s charm with zero of the usual nineteenth-century headaches. It is practically unheard of to find a historic home with four finished floors that was taken down to the studs and meticulously reborn with all updated wiring, plumbing, and high-efficiency mechanicals and hvac, saving you the absolute joy of discovering antique pipes that leak behind old walls.

Today, it offers an exceptionally open floor plan tailored for modern entertaining, elegantly partitioned by two sets of pocket doors. Your guests will marvel at the soaring, ornate 1890s staircase before gravitating toward the chef's kitchen, boasting top-tier granite countertops, a custom hood vent, and an oversized center island with snackbar. A stylish butler's pantry with a beverage fridge and sleek quartz counters ensures your entertaining flows effortlessly.
