South Hills, Grand Rapids MI, Homes For Sale & Recently Sold

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!

Heritage Hill has a specific rhythm, & it starts on this porch. Finished in tongue-&-groove planks, it's a wide, honest space for morning coffee. Inside, oversized windows capture a light that feels healing. The woodwork--original, unpainted, & pristine--is a rare gift; it doesn't need to be covered up. Updates include fresh paint, high-design fixtures, a remodeled bath, & a new garage roof. A fireplace for slow winters & a fenced backyard--a sanctuary for a dog to be a dog, or for a human to enjoy the luxury of not being perceived. The attic is an oversized equity play, with a framed West-facing room & a large space for a quiet home office. The basement is notably dry, with a finished room for a gym. You're 500 feet from Pleasant Park, a focal point for movie nights, matches at the concrete ping-pong table, & the modern climbing play structure, far from your standard playground. Close distance to dining & shops on Wealthy. This home knows exactly what & where it is.
