Property Description
Set on a serene 1.5-acre lot in Grand Rapids Township, with East Grand Rapids schools, this iconic 1957 midcentury modern home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local architectural history. Designed and built by James R. Bronkema, one of Grand Rapids' most celebrated architects, the home reflects his signature style: clean lines, expansive glass, open spaces, and an organic connection to nature. Since purchasing the home in 1991, the current owners have worked tirelessly with local designers, builders, and artisans to restore and elevate every square inch of the property. Their decades-long commitment to preserving Bronkema's original vision while incorporating thoughtful, high-end updates is evident in every detail, from the custom furniture and artwork to the materials selected
