242 E Palmer St

Built in 1912, this small brick condominium building contains eight units arranged over multiple low-rise floors and reflects a Craftsman/loft hybrid character. Exterior elements include original masonry, awnings, balconies or covered porches for some units, private entrances, modestly landscaped grounds, and exterior lighting; a gated parking upgrade with remote access is being installed for added security. Units are primarily two-bedroom residences with original hardwood flooring, wood trim, coffered ceilings and exposed brick alongside updated kitchens and bathrooms featuring ceramic tile and granite or subway-tile details. Typical interiors offer high ceilings, large bay or oversized windows, built-in millwork, programmable thermostats, and in-unit laundry in many homes. Building amenities and services are low-scale and practical: private detached or single-car garages, basement storage, grounds maintenance, and cable/ high-speed internet availability. Pet-friendly policies and relatively low HOA fees are noted. Located in Midtown’s Art Center district near the Detroit Institute of Arts, Wayne State University, QLINE Ferry Street station and cultural institutions, the property sits on a walkable, tree-lined street that blends residential calm with quick access to dining, transit, and city-center destinations.
