About This Home

As of October 2025

Welcome to one of Ionia's admired Italianate homes proudly situated along the city's red brick Main Street. Built in 1866, this timeless residence was held by the same family for over 100 years before passing to its current owners, carrying a rare legacy of care and pride through the generations.
Inside, historic craftsmanship shines with soaring 12-foot ceilings, curved walls, original woodwork, and a sweeping spiral staircase that had been the backdrop for weddings, celebrations, and family milestones. Light-filled, airy rooms flow beautifully, and a screened porch invites evenings of board games and laughter under the summer sky.
Modern updates provide peace of mind, including ($15,000) in electrical upgrades, updated plumbing, newer furnace and hot water heater ($9,800), and more. These essentials are complete while still leaving plenty of room for you to bring your own vision and style to the home. (See The layout offers 4 plus bedrooms, 2 full baths, a private yard with mature trees and plantings, and an attached garage. With generous square footage and a mix of historic character and modern comforts, this home is designed for both everyday living and special moments.
The location places you in the heart of downtown Ionia, where you can enjoy the charm of historic architecture, brick-paved streets, unique shops, local cafes, and year-round community events. From the city's restoration of its red brick roadways to the famous Ionia Free Fair, your address becomes part of the city's story.
This is more than a home. It is an opportunity to own a piece of Ionia's history while making it your own for years to come.
