    What's special

    Some homes simply feel like Detroit — timeless craftsmanship, character around every corner, and a sense of pride that’s been passed down through the years. This is truly a Detroit classic with a story to tell. This beautifully cared-for 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath brick home is exactly that. Step inside and you’re greeted by incredible original moldings, warm hardwood, and a natural fireplace that anchors the living room with comfort and charm. The generous main living space flows effortlessly into an inviting dining area, perfect for everyday meals or weekend gatherings. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated in a style that respects the home’s original elegance, while the three generous bedrooms upstairs offer comfortable layouts with plenty of room for furniture, storage, and your personal style. You’ll appreciate the quiet, the light, and the classic proportions that keep these spaces feeling inviting. Built with the solid craftsmanship Detroit is known for, this home’s brick construction, attention to detail, and long-standing durability offer peace of mind — the kind of strength that has stood the test of time. Need more room for hobbies, storage, or future possibilities? The full, clean basement delivers flexibility and function, and the unfinished attic offers room to imagine what comes next — a studio, playroom, office, or simply extra storage. The choice is yours. Outside, the oversized lot is a rare find in the city. Beautiful landscaping frames the property, and the front porch steals the show — morning coffee, evening conversations, or simply watching the neighborhood breathe. It’s timeless. The home features updated windows and thoughtfully coordinated kitchen appliances remain for the next owner, making move-in a breeze. Loved. Maintained. Respected. From trim details to thoughtful updates, this home’s story is ready for its next chapter.
