32 E. 8th Street is a two bedroom, two bath apartment on the second floor of the property located in the heart of downtown Holland.  The main level is home to Pretties, a well-established boutique destination, while the upper level features this private apartment.  The apartment features a large private deck overlooking 9th Street.  This property is a bit unique in that the tenant has access via both 8th Street and 9th Street.  Located on snowmelted sidewalks during the winter months, this really is an ideal place to call home!

Rich in local history, this site was once part of a combined 32-34 E. 8th Street structure.  The western portion housed the Doesburg Drug Store from 1908 until 1960, before becoming the Holland Peanut Store.  The eastern half originally served as a blacksmith shop at the turn of the century, later transitioning to the Boston Restaurant and various retail uses before 34 E. 8th Street was incorporated into a neighboring bank property.  Prior to Pretties, the space was home to Muriel’s which many likely still remember.

Today, 32 E. 8th Street reflects both the historic character and continued vitality of Holland’s main commercial corridor.
