18650 Roselawn Street

Bagley in 1938 was Detroit building at its most confident, and this brick two story shows it: steeply pitched gables with herringbone brickwork set into the peaks, a projecting bay carried on corbeled brick, cast stone at the entry and the original scrolled ironwork still on the porch. Inside, it is fully renovated, and it was done with restraint. The arched doorways stayed, along with the deep crown molding, the original hardwood floors and the fireplace under its columned mantel. Then there is the paint, which is genuinely custom work: hand painted stripes climbing the stairwell, a scalloped border along the upstairs hall, a ceiling scattered with silver stars, and rooms color drenched wall to ceiling in slate, plum and olive. Tasteful rather than trendy. The living room runs wide and bright beneath the bay, then opens through an arch into a formal dining room where a tall divided light door leads out to the covered back porch. The kitchen is finished the way you would actually want it: white shaker cabinets, granite counters, subway tile backsplash, tile floors and a brand new Samsung appliance package. A half bath sits just off the main level. Three bedrooms upstairs share an impeccable full bath lit by the home's original stained glass window, the back bedroom opens onto a private second floor balcony, and a finished lower level adds a den, gym or guest room. Outside, a privacy fenced backyard with fresh landscaping, an oversized patio strung with lights, a gated driveway and a detached two car garage. The mechanicals are handled: newer roof, furnace, central air, water heater, windows and driveway, plus a sewer line fully replaced to the city line. Pride of ownership on every surface. Actually turnkey, actually move in ready. Currently occupied and easy to show. Come see it for yourself.
