Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This distinctive, meticulously renovated historic firehouse has been converted into a three-unit residential property while preserving key character elements such as exposed brick, oversized arched windows, and a firepole in the foyer. The upper primary unit includes elevator access, two bedrooms, two full baths, in-unit laundry, and prominent historic details throughout. The lower unit offers a one-bedroom layout with a recently renovated kitchen and direct patio access. The “Hayloft” unit above features a one-bedroom, one-bath plan with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light. Garage and outdoor spaces are a major part of the layout, with five garage parking spaces plus four additional exterior spots, an upper deck off the primary unit, and a private, well-maintained yard with patio.

Located in Grand Rapids near a new soccer stadium and amphitheater, the property offers a residential setting with a built-in entertainment draw nearby. On-site laundry is located within the garage, which also functions as a recreational area with a pickleball court.

For buyers looking for an income-oriented setup, the building currently provides three separate units and also presents the option to convert part of the expansive garage into a fourth unit. The mix of outdoor space, dedicated parking, and in-unit and shared laundry configurations can support multiple resident lifestyles within one cohesive, historic structure.
