Welcome to Jefferson Chalmers Living! This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home blends historic Detroit charm with modern design, offering nearly 1,800 sq. ft. of inviting living space.
Step through the vibrant red door into a warm and welcoming interior filled with character. New and refinished hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by a cozy living room fireplace framed by custom craftsman bookshelves and original leaded glass doors that highlight the home’s timeless heritage.
The kitchen is both functional and stylish. Butcher block countertops pair with a quartz island featuring glass-front cabinetry, adding extra storage with a touch of elegance. Sleek white cabinets, updated lighting, and thoughtful design details make this space ideal for everyday cooking and entertaining.
Upstairs, you’ll find spacious bedrooms filled with natural light. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, offering a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub, separate glass shower, and elegant finishes designed for relaxation.
Additional highlights include a first-floor laundry, a versatile bonus room with original French doors ideal for a home office or sitting area, a newer roof on both the home and garage, new windows, and a detached 2-car garage.
The neighborhood’s lifestyle complements the timeless character of its historic homes. Tree-lined streets and canals lead to the Detroit River. Spend afternoons at nearby waterfront parks, or visit popular spots like Coriander Kitchen and Farm, Atwater Brewery, and LeRouge Boulangerie. In this neighborhood, history, recreation, and modern living come together.
