105 Lake Shore Rd, Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236
What's special
Welcome to 105 Lake Shore. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Grosse Pointe's most historically significant lakefront estates. Set on nearly one acre with approximately 157 feet of frontage overlooking Lake St. Clair, this incredible property occupies land that was once part of the legendary Newberry Estate, one of the grand Gilded Age properties that helped define Lake Shore Drive. Built in 1960 by renowned architect-builder Hilary H. Micou, this timeless Georgian Colonial blends classic architecture with exceptional craftsmanship. Grand marble and hardwood-floored interiors, elegant formal rooms, a richly appointed library, expansive entertaining spaces, an elevator, wine room, and breathtaking lake views create a residence of enduring sophistication. For more than six decades, this remarkable home has been stewarded by only two ownership families, a rare testament to its quality, prestige, and legacy. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed, this extraordinary estate offers an exceptional foundation for your vision and design expertise to create something truly spectacular. The estate retains the grace and character expected of one of Grosse Pointe’s premier addresses while offering the comfort and amenities desired for modern living. Outside, professionally designed grounds frame panoramic views of Lake St. Clair, creating an extraordinary setting for entertaining or quiet waterfront enjoyment. A four-car attached garage, slate roof, copper gutters, and enduring architectural details further distinguish this exceptional property. More than a home, 105 Lake Shore Road is a piece of Grosse Pointe history. Featured in the movie Grosse Pointe Blank, this is a rare opportunity to own a legacy estate on one of Michigan’s most prestigious waterfront boulevards. This exquisite estate is waiting for you to call it home.
