Fall in love with this beautiful historic Washington Road home offering 2,437 square feet of timeless Grosse Pointe charm and thoughtful modern updates. While the home may appear modest from the street, it reveals an impressive amount of living space inside, along with a warm, welcoming presence and classic curb appeal. From the moment you arrive, the generous front porch and enduring architectural details set the tone for a home filled with character. Inside, the original Pewabic tile fireplace, leaded glass cabinets, crown moldings, nine-foot ceilings and hardwood floors throughout showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while the remodeled kitchen with cherry cabinetry, granite countertops and a butler’s pantry blends beautifully with today’s needs. Some new windows, refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout create a bright, move-in-ready feel. The flexible floor plan includes a first-floor bedroom, full bath and office/bonus room, along with formal living and dining rooms, a family room with separate heater and a partially finished lower level that adds additional usable space. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and another full bath provide comfortable private living space, while the walk-in attic with cedar closet adds valuable storage. A large backyard offers room to relax, entertain, garden or expand and major improvements including a boiler and hot water tank replaced in 2021 and a newer roof offer peace of mind. This home is ideally located a short distance to Richard, Brownell and South schools, The Village and The Hill, with access to a private residents-only park featuring a pool and marina. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a home that combines historic charm, exceptional space and an unbeatable Grosse Pointe location.
