1444 Burns Street

Indian Village is one of Detroit's most notable architectural communities & 1444 Burns is an example of a home that is tied to the builders & homeowners who helped shape Detroit's early residential & industrial landscape. A first makeover in nearly 4 decades brings new life to this character-rich home while preserving the details that make it special & have defined it for generations. Refinished hardwood flooring flows throughout the 3 finished levels, complementing the craftsmanship of the original interior doors w/ crystal knob hardware & windows that have been mostly restored. The living room centers around a working fireplace w/ red brick surround & features restored accordion-style doors that can be opened or closed to create distinct spaces while maintaining a sense of flow between living & dining areas. Original butler’s room cabinetry remains intact, offering a glimpse into the home’s history. The north-side entrance creates a large & inviting living room configuration, giving the main level a distinctive layout w/ plenty of flexibility. A private first-floor room offers space as a library, home office, or entry-level bedroom. Outside, the classic combination of stucco & cedar shake with forest green accent paint contributes to the home’s established curb appeal. The home's main staircase is a standout feature, w/ handsome wooden banisters & spindles, graceful arched built-ins & charming sitting nooks at the landing creating a sense of discovery as you move through the home. Six bedrooms are arranged across the second & third levels, including a primary suite that spans the entire length of the home from north to south. The expansive suite features a large walk-in closet & an en suite full bathroom that beautifully preserves its 1914 character, w/ original penny tile flooring & classic subway tile walls. Thoughtful mechanical updates include a newer boiler, tankless water heater, copper & PEX plumbing, newly poured concrete from walkway and garage car door.
