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 stunning Heritage Hill home, the residence of the first practicing female attorney and great business woman Elizabeth or Bessie Eaglesfield. This absolutely gorgeous 22 Prospect St. SE home, full of beautiful woodwork, tall ceilings, pocket doors, large windows, hardwood floors, and architectural details from the 19th century 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 c arriage awaited Bessie to be taken to a business meeting, or her favorite 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 simply 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 and splendor.
