The Upper Suite at Craig House
Furnished Designer Residence in Historic Corktown
$3,150/month All Utilities + Wi-Fi Included
The Upper Suite at Craig House is a fully furnished designer residence inside the landmark 1882 Thomas & Margaret Craig House, documented in the Detroit Free Press as one of Corktown's most architecturally significant historic homes and recognized as one of only 12 homes for "considerable contribution" to Corktown's National Register designation.
Thoughtfully restored and reimagined in 2025, the suite blends original Victorian craftsmanship with Quiet Drama design.
Previously offered as a short-term stay, the Upper Suite has earned Airbnb Guest Favorite status with 5.0 rating and is hosted by an Airbnb Superhost. It is now available as a furnished monthly residence.
Located in the heart of Corktown, Detroit's oldest neighborhood, Craig House sits steps from Michigan Central Station, Detroit Riverfront and Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park, award-winning restaurants, coffee shops, downtown Detroit, and the city's growing design, mobility, and innovation corridor. Offering a rare chance to live in one of the city's most iconic streetscapes.

~Historic Architecture~
The upper suite preserves the atmosphere of the original house while introducing modern function and restraint. Original 19th-century millwork, tall windows, historic pine floors, cast-iron radiators, and the original staircase give the residence a depth that newer apartments cannot replicate.
~Design Language~
The Upper Suite is part of the Craig House design story: a restored, furnished residence shaped by Quiet Drama , a design philosophy centered on restraint, contrast, and atmosphere.
White Dove walls, black honed natural stone, warm brass, sculptural lighting, natural wood, original art, and carefully edited furnishings. The result is not a generic furnished rental, but a layered architectural residence with warmth, proportion, and character.
Design highlights include:
Original 19th-century millwork and pine flooring
Benjamin Moore White Dove walls for soft architectural contrast
Black Mist honed/leathered granite
Onyx Black cabinetry with honey-bronze hardware
Warm 2700K Visual Comfort lighting
Natural oak, stone, brass, and matte-black finishes
Original artwork by a Detroit-based artist and former ArtPrize exhibitor
The gold-leaf address numerals were created by the lettering artist whose work also appears at Book Tower and Shinola Hotel.
~Kitchen & Laundry~
The kitchen combines modern function with artisan character, designed for both daily living and longer furnished stays.
Features include:
GE stainless appliances
Gas range and dishwasher
Kohler matte-black faucet
Workstation sink
Leathered Black Mist granite counters
Vintage hand-built pantry cabinet
Whirlpool washer and dryer
Matte-white laundry counter for folding
Fully stocked cookware, utensils, knives, dishes, glassware, and coffee essentials
The kitchen is fully equipped for a tenant who wants the ease of a furnished residence without sacrificing design quality.
~Bath Suite~
The bathroom was designed as a calm, spa-like retreat with natural light, marble detailing, and warm brass accents.
Features include:
Harlequin patterned tile floor continuing into the shower
Calacatta marble details
Exposed brass thermostatic shower system with rain head and handheld wand
Frameless glass shower
Chevron vanity with Carrara-style quartz top
