    What's special

    Victorian characterDetached three-car garageDetailed trimModern cabinetryPocket doorsAbundant storageBasement flex space
    Best part about this Victorian? You get the charm everyone loves with the modern updates you actually want. And the location is what makes Pella living so special. Just steps from Pella’s historic town square, this iconic home offers classic Victorian character with thoughtful updates. Pocket doors, detailed trim, and two beautiful staircases showcase its history. The front room flows into the living room, creating two inviting gathering spaces. The updated kitchen features modern cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, a gas range with pot filler, and abundant storage. A bonus room near the back entry offers flexibility as a reading nook, playroom, office, or drop zone. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms share a hallway bath. A basement flex space, wraparound porch, mature landscaping, and detached three-car garage complete the home—all within walking distance of Pella’s shops, restaurants, parks, and community events. Some homes are special because of where they are. Some because of how they feel. This one offers both. And the exterior? It’s your chance to make it your own. The seller is offering a paint credit toward exterior painting, so the next owner can choose the colors and add their own touch.
