About 192 W 12th Street
Some homes just feel different the moment you see them. This is one of those homes--nestled in Holland's treasured Historic District, surrounded by other architecturally significant properties that carry the stories of over a century of community and craftsmanship. Rarely do you find a historic Holland home built of brick that has been beautifully preserved inside and out... this is that rare find! New furnace, AC, water heater, new staircase, and recent bathroom upgrades. Seller uncovered and refinished the original antique heart of pine floor upstairs. The location is unbeatable: just a few blocks from Downtown Holland's shops, cafes, and farmers market, Hope College's campus, and the waterfront at Kollen Park, where you can enjoy summer concerts and Lake Macatawa sunsets. Stroll or bike, and everything you need is at your doorstep. Step inside and you'll find original pine hardwood floors (a rarity--this type of pine floor is no longer produced), doors, knobs, trim, and moldings that speak to the craftsmanship of another era. Every detail has been carefully maintained, while modern luxuries have been added since it's beginning! Updated bathrooms, a new mudroom and laundry area, and a fenced-in backyard with both a deck and a balcony perched above the charming arched basement walkout.The basement itself is a hidden gem, with exposed original brick, tall ceilings, and the original hearth--offering endless possibilities, from wine cellar to speakeasy to studio space. This is where you'll find a walkout that is truly a preserved piece of history. Don't miss the old passageways that lead to the back yard! With 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and historic details that you simply can't replicate today, this home is more than just a place to live--it's a chance to own a piece of Holland's history.
