Property Description
Own a Piece of Pella History! This rare and remarkable property is located just a couple of blocks from historic downtown Pella. Truly one-of-a-kind blending character, scale, and adaptability, making it well suited for hospitality, boutique lodging, office use, event space, or a creative mixed-use concept.
Designed for entertaining and service, the property features a full commercial kitchen and multiple gathering spaces, including a second-floor room surrounded by windows, formerly known as the “Garden Room.” Additional areas include a cozy basement space, once known as De Kelder, with built-in benches, a distinctive attic level, and rooftop access, each offering potential for meetings, retreats, dining, or private functions.
The property includes 17 guest rooms, including 2 with bunk beds and a spacious suite. Additional accommodations include a studio apartment, a bright sunroom, and flexible spaces that allow both guests and owners to feel at home.
Practical features include efficient flow throughout the building, a large parking lot, ample storage, and office space, supporting a wide range of future uses. The property includes most of the furniture currently on-site, including some original Strawtown Inn furniture.
Rich in history and ideally located near Pella's shops, dining, and cultural attractions, 1111 Washington presents a distinctive opportunity with endless possibilities for its next steward. All due diligence is the responsibility of the buyer.
