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
