About This Home

As of November 2025

Step back in time with this turn-of-the-century treasure, formerly known as the “Lubbers House”—a true Pella gem that cannot be replicated in today’s market! Rich in character, it features original woodwork and a beautifully preserved staircase that immediately set the tone for timeless charm. The spacious dining room, with its bright windows and cozy bench seating, is an invitation to gather and enjoy. Historic details remain, including the classic back porch and unique grocery door once used to slide goods directly into the home. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with heritage: dual doorbells (the original up front and a smart version in back), a new extended driveway (2025), and a custom garage addition (2020). The garage doubles as a versatile man cave—perfect for projects, hobbies, or casual entertaining. Additional updates include new appliances (2024), fencing (2023), refinished main-level floors (2017), concrete steps (2017), updated basement windows (2019), and a new back door (2025). This home is as practical as it is charming, with abundant storage and thoughtful details throughout. Its unbeatable location offers Tulip Time parking, Thursday nights in Pella, and neighborhood Easter egg hunts—plus both a welcoming front porch and a landscaped backyard designed for everyday enjoyment. A rare blend of preserved history, thoughtful updates, and small-town lifestyle, this one-of-a-kind property is ready to welcome its next chapter. Call to set up a tour today!
