Step into the character and craftsmanship of this beautifully restored 1908 Arts and Crafts home in Detroit’s Boston-Edison Historic District. Located at 140 Longfellow Street, this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence blends historic detail with thoughtful modern updates. Originally built for Frank and Mary Chope of E. Chope & Son and designed by renowned architectural firm Smith, Hinchman & Grylls, the home carries an exceptional architectural pedigree.
Inside, original wood beams, leaded glass, built-ins, decorative fireplaces, refinished oak floors, and rich millwork have been carefully preserved. One fireplace features stunning Pewabic tile, while many light fixtures have been restored or custom crafted, adding a curated touch throughout the home.
The fully renovated kitchen features custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, a farmhouse sink, gas cooktop with downdraft, stainless steel appliances, and a functional peninsula for casual dining and entertaining. The original butler’s pantry adds charm and storage, while first-floor laundry is conveniently tucked into the powder room.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a versatile flex space ideal for an office or future bath. The main bath offers dual pedestal sinks, an original clawfoot tub, and a separate walk-in shower. The finished third floor adds approximately 800 square feet of living space with a full bath and dressing area, perfect for a guest suite, studio, or additional lounge space.
Outside, mature landscaping surrounds the home, complemented by a welcoming front porch with swing, fenced yard, rear porches, and a two-car garage. Major updates include dual HVAC systems, roof, electrical, and insulation. Ideally located on a quiet stretch of Longfellow between Voigt Park and Woodward, this is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored home in one of Detroit’s most iconic historic neighborhoods. NEZ homestead can be applied for, lowering property taxes for 15 years.
