    Say ''Hello!'' to this historic piece of Grand Rapids history! Nestled in the heart of Heritage Hill, this 4 bed, 1.5 home has been beautifully preserved and maintained. Gorgeous historic features include hardwood floors, casement windows, stately wood moulding and paneling, and glass-paned french doors throughout. The main floor includes a bright living space, with a gorgeous wood fireplace, a den, formal dining room, and kitchen, which has been tastefully updated with floor to ceiling tile, quartz counters, lots of cabinetry, and tile floors. A completely renovated half bath completes this floor. Moving upstairs you'll find 3 good-sized bedrooms and a lovely full bath. A fourth bedroom can be found on the third floor. Last but certainly not least, the partially finished basement is an incredibly special time capsule and an entertainer's dream. This perfectly preserved speakeasy wet bar was once visited by jazz greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and more! Laundry and storage space can also be found in the basement along with a space plumbed and ready for another half bathroom. The fenced-in backyard features a patio and 2-stall garage. Sellers have also added whole-house mini-splits to allow for individual heating and cooling throughout. This beautiful home has the perfect mix of historic preservation and modern updates.
