Description

Step into a legacy. Historically known as the Blodgett Estate and most recently the prestigious residence for the President of Aquinas College, Brookby stands as one of East Grand Rapids' most significant architectural treasures. This nearly 12,000 sq. ft. manor is more than a home; it is a landmark of sophistication, born from a rare collaboration between two of the 20th century's most distinguished design firms, including the famed architecture firm Walker & Gillette. Now poised for its next chapter--and pending final city approval on a lot split--this storied manor will sit on a premier parcel of nearly 1.5 acres, offering a refined footprint and breathtaking views of Fisk Lake. Please contact the listing agent, who has a personal interest in the property, for more details or to learn about additional available lots adjacent to the estate.
