A Timeless Detroit Home

What I Love:

Some homes greet you with personality the moment you step inside, and this beautifully crafted Georgian Revival colonial in Detroit’s University District is one of them. From its copper roofed dormers to its arched pediments and classic modillions, the exterior alone feels like a page from an architectural history book. Step inside and you’ll find even more to love: leaded glass details, stunning trim, a welcoming vestibule, arched passageways, and a library that gives off a subtle Frank Lloyd Wright vibe.

The kitchen is a dream space for anyone who enjoys cooking or gathering with loved ones. Its chef’s layout, updated finishes, and that charming bay window breakfast nook bring the perfect blend of modern comfort and timeless warmth. The primary suite continues the experience with a spacious ensuite, soaker tub, shower fixture, and an in-bathroom closet that feels incredibly thoughtful. Each bathroom across the home has been artfully updated, including a third-floor vintage bath complete with a clawfoot tub.

Although the home is offered as is, that’s part of the excitement. It creates an opportunity for first-time buyers, those looking to downsize, or anyone searching for a strong long-term investment in one of Detroit’s most admired historic neighborhoods. With major system upgrades already in place, including zoned heating and cooling, newer plumbing, and multiple roof updates, the foundation is already here. The rest is simply waiting for your personal touches.
