Property Description
A stately foyer welcomes you inside, featuring the home's original curved walkway, an added antique lamp, and elegant spiral staircase. Just off the foyer, the parlor/bedroom is separated by custom antique French doors that open into the spacious living room, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. With the doors open, the home can comfortably accommodate gatherings of up to 40 guests. A charming dining room, illuminated by an original 1800s light fixture, connects the living room, kitchen, and bath. The beautifully remodeled kitchen was designed to honor the home's history while providing modern convenience. Custom cabinetry replicates the original millwork, complemented by durable wall coverings and unique antique accents, including a glass-front cabinet salvaged from the historic 1908 Gilmore House on South Street. A door from the kitchen leads directly to the backyard and porch.
The fully renovated bathroom is a true showpiece, thoughtfully designed with period-inspired finishes while incorporating today's comforts. Features include heated tile floors, a vintage soaking tub, shower, a custom Morisco glass pocket door crafted to match the original windows, and an oversized laundry closet concealed behind solid wood doors reclaimed from a former nunnery. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms, including one with a private dressing room and stunning cathedral-style windows that fill the space with natural light.
Extensive improvements provide peace of mind, including all new plumbing, a new furnace and central air (2020), on-demand water heater (2020), storm windows, roof replacement (approximately 2009), and a professionally sealed and waterproofed basement with custom replacement windows, abundant shelving, and exceptional storage.
The exterior is every bit as impressive. Recent improvements include freshly painted siding, repaired sidewalks, decorative aluminum fencing enclosing the front yard, and a new deck. The meticulously maintained landscaping offers blooms through much of the year, creating a picturesque setting from every angle. The adjacent 4,480-square-foot parcel, acquired by the current owner, expands the outdoor space with an urban orchard, a butterfly garden, native plants, and established perennial plantings. Additional conveniences include exterior electrical outlets in both the front and rear yards for seasonal decorating, two new outdoor spigots, and motion-activated lighting.
A rare opportunity to own a lovingly preserved historic home where every update has been made with careful attention to its original character and enduring beauty.

REVIEWS
- Nick did an awesome job in helping us find and purchase our condo. He listened to our wants and identified options and in the end we found a good fit for our needs for a vacation home Since we are far from Holland Nick set up a couple video tours to reduce travel. Thanks Nick for all the hard work and insight. We are very excited about our new home!Gordon L
- Nick was awesome to work with! I just went through the process of purchasing my first home and Nick couldn’t have made it any easier. He is super knowledgeable about the industry and the area. He answered all my questions and made sure to point out things I may not be thinking of since it was my first time going through the process. He was attentive, super responsive, easy to talk to, and truly cares about finding his clients a home they’ll love! I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future and would definitely recommend him as an agent!Emily Rzeszutko
- Nick was amazing to work with! This was my first time buying a house. Nick was very patient and took the time to walk me through everything and address all my questions. He was always quick to respond. He was clearly knowledgeable about the area and was great at pointing out and educating me on issues to watch for as we walked through houses. I absolutely recommend Nick to anyone buying or selling a home, and look forward to working with him again in the future!Kayla Kocal
