Description

Here’s your opportunity to own an Italian Renaissance Revival-style Colonial in Detroit’s enchanting Indian Village! Designed by architect William F. Goodrich and built in 1912 for socialite Catherine Elisabeth Barnard (nee Moran), daughter of attorney and Michigan Senator Charles Moran, this beautiful stucco over brick home offers generous space and distinctive character. Decorative wrought-iron railings complement tall French-style casement windows on the first floor, while an oval œil-de-bœuf (bull’s-eye) window with an ornamental surround draws the eye upward, highlighting the home’s stately facade. Inside, five (5) spacious bedrooms, three (3) fireplaces, an updated kitchen and butler’s pantry, and a third-floor flex room offer versatility and comfort. Charming concealed panel doors, known as “jib doors,” blend seamlessly into the decorative millwork in the dining room and hallway, while French doors and built-ins flank the two first-floor fireplaces. Brass fixtures, decorative trim, and picture molding add elegant finishing touches throughout these spaces. Outdoor amenities include a private, covered rear porch, a garden, a rear balcony, and a three-car garage. The seller is offering an exterior paint concession, allowing the buyer to refresh the existing color or select a new palette, subject to historic district requirements and approval. The home also qualifies for the NEZ-H property tax abatement for eligible owner-occupants. Schedule your tour today!
