Move right into this fully renovated c.1929 storybook Tudor in East Grand Rapids, across from the incredible grounds of Aquinas College- offering a central EGR location that's just a stone's throw from Eastown and Wilcox Park and close to Reeds Lake and Gaslight Village. Thoughtful choices were made to update this classic property for modern living- it was designed by AD100 interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel. The 'Clover Tudor' was named for its charming arched front door with a Clover window. It retains the original Pewabic tile floor in the entryway, flanked by built-in bench seating and coat closet. Step down into the living room, which opens to the front terrace via its original pair of double doors- perfect for indoor/outdoor living or parties. The fireplace has its original limestone mantel and surround, and double doors at the right which open onto a light-bathed office overlooking the grounds of Aquinas College. The kitchen was completely redesigned and renovated. It features classic elements that reflect the original character of the home while adding modern function and flow. The kitchen cabinetry is in a buttery colorway with aged brass hardware; the contrasting custom island is in American black walnut with integrated drawers and dishwasher. The marble countertops are in Calacatta Rosa and have a striking double bullnosed edge. Pop-up brass outlets, tumbled travertine stone flooring, and brass fixtures add style, texture, and function. All new kitchen appliances include a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator with a custom cabinet; panel-ready Bosch dishwasher; and a Hallman range with a custom plaster hood. The kitchen was opened to the formal dining room and all original moldings were seamlessly matched. This new opening offers amazing sight lines and great flow from kitchen to dining room to entryway and living room. The main level powder bath was fully updated with handmade mosaic zellige tile flooring, dreamy Tiffany green marble countertops, brass fittings, and tulip print wallpaper. All new decorative lighting was added throughout, including fixtures from Soho Home, Nickey Kehoe, Cedar & Moss, and SSS x Lulu & Georgia. There are three generously sized bedrooms upstairs, including a primary with double closets and a new en-suite bathroom with floor to ceiling cream Zia tile, heated terracotta toned marble flooring, and a custom vanity. The full bath has its original emerald green tile but has been refreshed with a new marble-topped vanity and marble tiled shower. There is pull-down stair access in the upstairs hallway for the large, vaulted attic. The basement has been freshly painted in neutral tones and has a 'speakeasy' style walnut-paneled living room with an exterior side entrance. Original narrow plank oak floors throughout; beautiful original plaster moldings. Charming built-ins in the living room, office, and bedrooms. Professionally painted throughout, with all new custom roman shades & window treatments. New roof, new balcony railing, newly painted exterior millwork, all new HVAC. Two stall detached garage with a new driveway and new flagstone paver path. The house history of this home and its occupants will be included for the buyer. Skip the design and renovation phase and move right in to the #SSSCloverTudor.
