You will absolutely fall in love with this wonderful historic house built in the early 1900s, but transformed into 21st-century functionality! The dining room-turned kitchen is updated with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and oversized- undermount sink and dishwasher in the center island. The kitchen invitingly opens to the living room with a gas fireplace, the lovely private deck, the charming sunroom-turned dining room and to the comfortable family room.
Abundant natural light welcomes you throughout the house from dawn until dusk: through the large front window in the living room, the original rounded French doors leading to the terrace, or through the cathedral-shaped accent windows salvaged from a razed Grosse Pointe mansion.
The backyard is a private oasis- with gravel pathways and stepping-stones leading to a lovely garden space awaiting the planting of fresh herbs and potted annuals. The brand-new poured concrete driveway leads to a one-car garage and an attached storage shed. The upstairs has four family bedrooms, a paneled study and an updated bathroom. New central air conditioning was added in 2020. How convenient to be walking distance to Jerry's party store and to the Country Club of Detroit! Hop on your bike, and you will be in the Village in 5 minutes! You must tour this charming, unique and livable house; better yet, make this fabulous coastal-inspired, elegant house your new home! This house can be sold with the furnishings!
