1530 Longfellow

Thoughtfully renovated without losing the character that gives it its soul, this is a historic Detroit home designed to be lived in and loved. It has both historic character--generous room sizes, oversized windows, and original architectural details--and renovations that suit it for modern living--a large, open kitchen with space for gathering, a luxurious primary suite, and a practical mudroom. Historic details include original tile in the foyer, a working fireplace in the living room, original functioning windows throughout, and original wainscoting in the office/library. Modern updates include a kitchen with custom cabinetry and generous storage space, unique lighting elements, additional closet space, and a reimagined sunroom. The first floor comprises the foyer, oversized central hallway, living and dining rooms, kitchen, office/library, powder room, and mudroom. The second floor includes the primary suite, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a sunroom. The third floor adds two more bedrooms and a bathroom, creating a flexible level ideal for children, guests, or creative space. Set on a tree-lined street in the iconic Boston Edison neighborhood, this home is an example of what makes the neighborhood so special: notable architecture, graciousness, beautiful original details, and a sense of permanence that cannot be recreated.
