Featured in the NYTimes 'What You Get' column in December 2025. Just steps from Michigan Avenue, this beautifully restored Queen Anne Revival home blends historic character with modern updates in one of Detroit's most sought-after neighborhoods. The first floor features original hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, tall ceilings, and abundant natural light. A spacious living room flows into a lovely study with an oversized wood-burning fireplace and original sliding pocket doors. The dining room has a stylish ceiling medallion with chandelier. The chef's kitchen features an 8-burner gas range, double oven, island, stone countertops, and custom cabinetry. The adjacent scullery offers even more prep and storage space, complete with a wine fridge, stone countertops, and a stained-glass transom window. A full bathroom and laundry room complete the level. Upstairs, the second floor offers four bedrooms, an office with a fireplace, a bright sunroom overlooking the backyard with downtown views, and a full bath featuring restored original pink-and-black tile and Venetian plaster walls. The primary bedroom includes a bonus room with a charming loft. The third floor reveals a tucked-away bedroom with built-in shelving and a window bench seat framing skyline views. Enjoy outdoor living with a fenced backyard and a two-car garage. Major upgrades include a fully rewired electrical system with garage service, two heating zones, and central air for the upper levels. All of this just one block from Michigan Avenue's shops and dining, three blocks from Bagley and Trumbull retail, and minutes by bike to downtown Detroit and the upcoming Ralph C. Wilson Centennial Park on the riverfront. NEZ Rehab certificate issued on November, 18th, 2025, freezing the taxable value at $5,400 through 2039. This tax abatement is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over the next 13 years.
