About This Home

As of December 2020

This 1890's Heritage Hill beauty is in a prime downtown Grand Rapids location. Every inch of the home has been professionally designed, restored, and modernized. The wisteria climbing the front porch is the subject for painting by local art students. Step inside to cook on an induction range and dim your lighting remotely. The kitchen boasts new appliances, quartz counters, and on-demand hot water dispenser. Operational wood burning fireplace, heated breezeway, & attached heated 2 stall garage with insulated cedar lined attic. Professional landscaping renovated in 2018 is complete with underground sprinkling. Decide every morning whether to swing on covered front porch hidden among lovely vines or watch the city wake up on the second story private deck. Spectrum track is just outside.
