1395 Antietam Ave

A converted historic schoolhouse in Detroit’s Lafayette Park, this early-20th-century loft building (constructed 1920) repurposes classroom and auditorium volumes into open-plan residential units. The property is primarily configured as one-bedroom and studio lofts with high vaulted ceilings, large original wood-framed windows, exposed brick, and restored hardwood floors; some larger units include two bedrooms and private rooftop terraces. Interiors frequently retain historic details—transom windows, built-in shelving, and sizable colonnade windows—while featuring modern upgrades such as renovated kitchens, in-unit washer/dryers, jetted tubs, programmed thermostats, and contemporary lighting. Common areas emphasize outdoor living: a communal rooftop deck with panoramic downtown views, raised community garden beds, and private outdoor spaces for select units. Site services and amenities include elevator access, assigned secure parking (garage plus gated lot spaces), basement storage cages/lockers, grounds maintenance, exterior lighting, and controlled entrances. The building participates in neighborhood tax abatement programs (NEZ) at times, and its placement on the National Register of Historic Places informs preservation-sensitive renovations. Located within a highly walkable pocket of Lafayette Park, residents have quick pedestrian access to Eastern Market, Dequindre Cut greenway, Detroit Riverwalk, Ford Field, restaurants, and downtown employment and entertainment nodes.
