Welcome to 18925 Birchcrest Drive, an exquisite Tudor Revival in Detroit’s historic University District, priced below its April 2025 appraised value of $440,000. * Built in 1929, this architectural gem blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful updates for modern living. * Step through the leaded-glass entry into a grand living room highlighted by hand-crafted moldings, hardwood floors, and a stately limestone fireplace. The formal dining room and adjacent library continue the story with ornate plasterwork and built-in leaded-glass bookshelves. Both bathrooms feature original fixtures and coveted Pewabic tile, including a stunning stained and leaded-glass window in the second-floor bath. * Recent improvements include a new roof (2024, $48K with 50-year warranty), SOLAR PANELS (2021), Detroit-made Weathergard windows (2021, 35-year warranty), new sewer line (2023), and Mitsubishi cooling/heating units in the living room, breakfast nook, and primary bedroom for year-round comfort. * Outside, enjoy a beautifully landscaped yard, brick two-car garage, and spacious backyard patio, perfect for entertaining or relaxing under the trees. The unfinished basement offers endless potential for a studio, wine cellar, or recreation space. * Situated on one of the neighborhood’s most picturesque blocks, with patrol service, snow removal, and an active garden club, you’re just minutes from the Avenue of Fashion, Detroit Golf Club, and University of Detroit Mercy. With quick access to Woodward Avenue and downtown, this home pairs historic elegance with everyday convenience. * Homes of this caliber and character rarely return to market, schedule your private showing today!
