Thoughtfully restored and reimagined in 2025, the residence blends original Victorian craftsmanship with Quiet Drama design. Utilities made simple: heat, gas, water, sewer, trash, and high-speed internet are included. Tenant only pays electricity. Located in the heart of Corktown, Detroit's oldest neighborhood, Craig House sits near Michigan Central Station, the Detroit Riverfront and Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park, award-winning restaurants and coffee shops, downtown Detroit, and the city's growing design, mobility, and innovation corridor. This is a rare opportunity to live in a restored historic home rather than a conventional apartment building. ~The Residence~ The Upper Suite offers preserved architectural character, a private entry, flexible living spaces, in-unit laundry, a chef-ready kitchen, a renovated spa-style bath, and approximately 1,232 square feet of living space.

Original 19th-century millwork, tall windows, historic pine floors, cast-iron radiators, and the original staircase give the residence a depth and character that newer apartments cannot replicate. The house was carefully restored while preserving the architectural features that make Craig House distinctive. ~Design & Materials~ The Upper Suite is part of the larger Craig House design story, shaped by Quiet Drama , a design philosophy centered on restraint, contrast, atmosphere, and timelessness. White Dove walls, black honed natural stone, warm brass, sculptural lighting, and natural wood complement the home's Victorian architecture without competing with it. Design highlights include: Original 19th-century millwork and pine flooring Benjamin Moore White Dove walls 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 Gold-leaf address numerals 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 and was designed for everyday living rather than as a typical rental-grade kitchen. Features include: GE stainless appliances Gas range Dishwasher Kohler matte-black faucet Workstation sink Leathered Black Mist granite counters Vintage hand-built pantry cabinet Whirlpool washer and dryer Dedicated laundry folding counter The kitchen offers generous storage and workspace for a resident who enjoys cooking and wants something more distinctive than a standard apartment kitchen. ~Bath Suite~ The renovated bathroom was designed as a calm, spa-like retreat with natural light, marble detailing, and warm brass accents.
