Each spring, the West Michigan Parade of Homes opens doors to a world of design inspiration and building expertise. For anyone dreaming of a custom home in Grand Rapids or exploring the latest in residential construction, it’s the most anticipated event of the year. In 2025, Celebrity Builders is honored to present a home that stands out for its balance of modern architecture, thoughtful functionality, and meticulous craftsmanship—12350 Polk Street in West Olive.

Whether you’re a Parade regular, a future homeowner, or simply passionate about design, this tour offers an inside look at what sets a true custom build apart.

The Parade of Homes: Where Design Meets Community

The Parade of Homes, hosted by the Home Builders Association of Greater Grand Rapids, is much more than a showcase. It’s a community tradition that brings together homeowners, builders, designers, and dreamers. Visitors can explore dozens of homes across the region, gathering ideas, meeting professionals, and seeing firsthand how West Michigan’s leading builders are shaping the future of local living.

For Celebrity Builders, the Parade is both an opportunity and a privilege—a chance to highlight what our team and partners can achieve through expertise, vision, and attention to detail.

12350 Polk Street: A Modern Home Rooted in Purpose

Strategically situated on an extraordinary property, the custom home at 12350 Polk Street is a masterclass in design and functionality. From the very first impression, it’s clear this is not a standard build.

The bold yet welcoming front porch makes a statement, inviting guests into a space defined by grandeur and light. Inside, 10-foot ceilings and expansive windows reveal sweeping views of the private backyard, creating an atmosphere that feels open and connected to nature.

Details That Matter: Custom Craftsmanship Throughout

Walk through the home and you’ll notice the difference in every corner. Custom cabinetry extends throughout the kitchen and living areas, providing seamless storage and a warm, cohesive look. A hidden butler’s pantry adds an extra layer of function, allowing essentials to be kept organized and out of sight while remaining easily accessible.

The Great Room is a showpiece for textural design—a striking concrete fireplace surround is flanked by stained wood trim and custom built-ins. This mix of materials adds both visual interest and a sense of comfort.

A true centerpiece of the home, the open steel stringer staircase features concrete treads with integrated LED lighting. It’s more than a means of moving between floors; it’s a sculptural element that enhances the home’s contemporary spirit and reflects the creative partnership between Celebrity Builders and CVI Design.

Comfort and Efficiency: Building for Michigan Living

Michigan homes need to do more than look great—they need to perform in all seasons. At 12350 Polk Street, comfort is prioritized at every turn. Radiant in-floor heating is installed throughout, including in the screen room and garage, ensuring even warmth and efficiency year-round.

Open the home’s panoramic door system and the transition from indoors to outdoors is seamless. Step into a fully screened-in porch featuring a motorized screen, radiant heaters, and its own fireplace, creating an all-weather gathering space that extends the living area and embraces Michigan’s beautiful, changing seasons.

An Exterior Built to Last

Durability meets modern design on the outside, where a blend of smooth board and batten siding, vertical metal wood-look panels, and ACM panel build-outs gives the home a visually stunning, long-lasting facade. These material choices reflect Celebrity Builders’ focus on quality, low maintenance, and striking curb appeal.

The Value of Builder-Designer Collaboration

Every element of this Parade home showcases the successful partnership between Celebrity Builders and CVI Design. Every detail, from the flow of the floor plan to the smallest trim piece, has been thoughtfully considered and executed. This teamwork is what allows a custom home to be both innovative and perfectly suited to the lifestyle it supports.
