Description

Some homes are built. This one was crafted. Behind a hand-laid arched brick entry and a rounded solid-wood door, this 1928 brick Tudor blends 2,703 square feet of old-world artistry with major modern upgrades and substantial capital investments. The craftsmanship begins at the curb. Multi-colored brickwork, a sunburst arch, and leaded diamond-pane windows set an enchanting tone. Step into the grand foyer, floored in collectible art tile in the tradition of 1920s Michigan Flint Faience. A sweeping wood staircase with scrolled wrought-iron balusters rises past a restored leaded-glass window. Gorgeous refinished hardwood floors ($5,000+), coved plaster ceilings, and Moorish-inspired floral relief work carry rich historical character throughout every room. The living room is a showpiece: deep green walls, a glowing terracotta ceiling, a carved floral frieze, and brass and crystal sconces flanking a carved sandstone mantel with a new gas insert. A formal dining room, private library, and light-filled sunroom complete the main level. The character is classic, and the comforts are strictly modern. The kitchen received a complete $50,000+ rebuild in 2015, featuring a premier $13,000 Sub-Zero refrigerator. Additional major infrastructure improvements include updated wiring and plumbing, a rebuilt boiler, and ductless mini-split A/C installed throughout ($12,000). Preserving the historic aesthetic while ensuring peak energy efficiency, over $80,000 was invested in premium Renewal by Andersen windows featuring true mullions inside and out. Accommodations include 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a main-floor powder room. The third-floor bedroom features its own full private bath, making it an ideal guest suite, primary retreat, or home office. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard with a pool, aggregate patio, and a detached 2-car garage with EV charging. Situated steps from the University of Detroit Mercy and minutes from Palmer Park. Homes with this level of original craftsmanship and high-value updates are rarely availab
