A Jewel on East River — Where History Meets Home! Built in 1915, this American Foursquare once served as home to the Chief of the Grosse Ile Navy Base — and more than a Century later, it still carries that same Quiet Dignity. Set on a Sprawling, Parklike parcel along the highly sought-after East River Rd, this is the kind of property that reminds you why Grosse Ile is unlike anywhere else.
Picture your mornings here: coffee in your comfy chair, the River close enough to hear from the Screened-in Porch. This Home was made for living the good life— the kind where every day ends the same peaceful way.
Step inside, and the character continues. A spacious Great Room welcomes you with Built-in Bookcases, Original Wood Floors, Oversized New Windows, and a Fireplace that Anchors the Whole Space. The Kitchen has been Beautifully Updated — Soaring Cabinetry, Quartz Counters, Newer Appliances, and a Subway Tile Backsplash that brings it all Together. Just off the Kitchen, a Bright Dining Room offers a rare gem of its own: a Built-in Butler's Pantry, as charming as it is Functional.
Upstairs, Four Generous Bedrooms and a Renovated Full Bath continue the Home's story with more Built-ins, Wood Floors, and Natural Light pouring in from every angle. A large Daylight Basement adds practical space for Laundry and Storage, while recent updates — Newer Furnace, Fresh Interior / Exterior Paint, Newer Chimney, Roof, and Gutters — mean the Big-Ticket items are already done, leaving room for your own Personal Touches where you want them.
Outside, a Detached 2-Car Garage with a loft adds even more Storage Flexibility, and a Ledge-Rock Koi pond brings a Peaceful Water feature right into your own backyard — all set within a Private, Mature-Tree-lined lot that feels worlds away, while being just steps from it all. AND a Boat Well included!
Homes with this much History, Location and Water Access don't come along often on Grosse Ile. One Year Home Warranty Included!
