An extraordinary opportunity awaits with this rare TRIPLE LOT in Detroit’s University District. This stately Detroit style Colonial combines historic character with thoughtful modern updates.
The formal foyer greets you with its sweeping bowed staircase, hardwood floors, and original leaded doors, setting the stage for the elegance that flows throughout the home. The light-filled living room, framed by picture windows and intricate moldings, surrounds a central fireplace and invites gatherings both large and small.
At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen boasts granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and ample room for cooking and entertaining. Just beyond, the wood-paneled den with a second fireplace and the sunlit atrium featuring a restored Pewabic tile fountain create distinct spaces for work, relaxation, or quiet retreat—all with views of the expansive fenced backyard and patio.
Upstairs, spacious bedrooms and renovated baths provide comfort and flexibility, while the primary suite impresses with a walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and jetted shower. The third floor offers a private en suite and attic storage, while the lower level extends the living space with another fireplace and large gathering area.
Meticulously cared for and restored, this home is the perfect blend of original charm and modern convenience—an exceptionally rare find in the University District.
