Inside, historic craftsmanship shines with soaring 12-foot ceilings, curved walls, original woodwork, and a sweeping spiral staircase that had been the backdrop for weddings, celebrations, and family milestones. Light-filled, airy rooms flow beautifully, and a screened porch invites evenings of board games and laughter under the summer sky. Modern updates provide peace of mind, including ($15,000) in electrical upgrades, updated plumbing, newer furnace and hot water heater ($9,800), and more.

It is an opportunity to own a piece of Ionia's history while making it your own for years to come.
