Welcome back to the future! Imagine living in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids in the 1800s. Wait! You do not have to imagine any longer. You have a chance to make it a reality in this Heritage Hill home, the residence of the first practicing female attorney and great business woman Elizabeth (Bessie) Eaglesfield. This gorgeous 22 Prospect Ave. SE home, full of beautiful woodwork, tall ceilings, pocket doors, large windows, hardwood floors, and architectural details from the 19th century--from where you can walk to anywhere downtown--is awaiting for you now in 2026. As you enter this Heritage Hill home, you step into an entrance that leads to an environment full of history and amazement. Straight ahead is the parlor and a hall leading you to the kitchen and a half bath. To your right it leads to a door where the carriage awaited Bessie to be taken to her meetings, or her social events. As you pivot to your left, the steps lead to the second floor, the formal dining room. To your right is the spacious living room with a fireplace, large windows, and a built-in bookshelf. As you walk to the kitchen, there are two sets of stairs. One leading to the north side entrance of the home, and basement with abundant space for storage and equipped with an "emergency" bathroom, which according to the history of the home, was the "maid's" bathroom. The other goes up to the "maid's" bedroom. Past the stairs, is the kitchen, and a back entryway with built-in shelves leading to a covered deck and the backyard. The front entrance stairway leads you to the second floor where you will find 4 bedrooms: The master bedroom with a fireplace (which connects to a second bedroom that could be used as a walk-in closet, or an office); a third and fourth bedroom; and the "maid's" small bedroom, which could also be used as an office, or as currently used as a relaxing or reading room. From the second floor there is a stairway leading you to the third floor suite complete with a kitchenette, bedroom, full bathroom and spacious area for relaxing or just being alone and enjoying yourself. Or, for a fabulous guest room. Outside, next to the carriage house/garage, the home offers space for a beautiful garden and includes a lovely stone water fountain. You have to see it to appreciate this home's beauty.

5 Beds ⋅ 5 Baths ⋅ 4,218 SqFt. ⋅ 26038194 MLS

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. Built originally for a local perfume magnate, this five-bedroom, five-bathroom estate is the most compelling resurrection story in the city. 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. When you are done hosting, retreat to the main-floor primary suite featuring a lavish jetted tub and custom tiled shower, or escape to the breathtaking upper-level suite. This secondary, two-story sanctuary feels like a private penthouse, complete with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, a kitchenette, twin built-in closets, and loads of daylight radiating the spaces. The second story of the home also has a secluded office at the end of the hall with french doors, a built-in desk, and plenty of space for visitors. Every inch of the home showcases unparalleled craftsmanship, from the glowing three-quarter-inch hardwood and upper-level birch flooring to the customized travertine tile work. The lower level features a striking epoxy-finished stone floor, highlighting the home's original foundation in a sophisticated, waterproofed man cave setting. You will also appreciate the rare convenience of a ~10-year new built garage on this unusually large .216-acre city parcel. You are perfectly positioned within easy walking distance of downtown's premier eateries and vibrant entertainment venues. Replicating this level of architectural detail and modern infrastructure today would cost millions, assuming you could even find the craftsmen to do it. Don't miss your chance to own a flawless piece of Grand Rapids history—without the historic drafts, electrical shorts, and water leaks. And move in at close!
