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

Supplements: for restoration. The main living spaces are a masterclass in modern comfort and design. The kitchen features double Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Miele built-in espresso machine, a 6-burner gas range with double ovens and warming drawer, stainless steel countertops, and a quartz breakfast bar. Adjacent, the living and sitting rooms are anchored by original wood-burning fireplaces and include a fully appointed bar with undercounter ice maker, refrigerator drawers, and wine coolerperfect for entertaining. The primary suite offers a private retreat with an en suite bath, direct access to a secluded patio and hot tub, and serene views of the property. Each of the home's four bathrooms is outfitted with Runtal towel warmers, while all bedrooms offer outdoor access via sliding doors to private balconies. One secondary bedroom also features its own en suite bath. A family room with custom built-ins opens directly to the backyard, patio, and pool area, while an additional office/workout space includes a built-in desk, bookcases, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar with egress window. Even the laundry room was designed with intention, featuring ample cabinetry, counter space, stainless steel sink with disposal, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The outdoor living experience is equally impressive. A fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel countertops, built-in Big Green Egg, and a Forno Bravo wood-burning pizza oven anchors the patio beside the custom-built Garter pool. A newly installed artificial putting green near the pool patio adds playful charm, while an inviting fire pit area sets the tone for cozy evenings. The grounds are supported by extensive low-voltage lighting, an irrigation system, and a new outdoor sound system that blends effortlessly into the landscape. ROBINWOOD is more than a home,it's an architectural treasure, thoughtfully restored for modern living while honoring its historic soul. A true one-of-a-kind offering for the discerning buyer who appreciates exceptional design and timeless craftsmanship.
