Come home to a house with a story. Since 1928, this brick Tudor in Detroit's University District has welcomed visitors through its hand-laid arched brick entry and rounded solid-wood door. Inside, nearly a century of craftsmanship meets thoughtful updates designed for today's living. Step into the foyer and the house introduces itself: vintage art tile in the tradition of 1920s Michigan Flint Faience, a sweeping wood staircase with scrolled wrought-iron balusters, and a lovingly restored leaded-glass window. Refinished hardwood floors, coved plaster ceilings, and delicate floral relief work carry that character from room to room. Settle in beside the carved sandstone fireplace in the living room, now featuring a new gas insert and elegant brass and crystal sconces. Gather around the table for holiday dinners in the formal dining room, enjoy the natural light in the sunroom, or retreat to the private library for a quiet afternoon. The kitchen brings together old-world charm and everyday convenience, with a complete $50,000+ renovation featuring granite countertops, a $13,000 Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a sunny breakfast nook beneath a carved wood arch. With 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a main-floor powder room, there's plenty of room for guests, hobbies, and working from home. The third-floor bedroom with its own private bath offers a wonderful retreat with endless possibilities. The beauty of this home goes well beyond what you see. Significant investments include over $80,000 in Renewal by Andersen windows with true mullions inside and out, ductless mini-split air conditioning throughout ($12,000), updated wiring and plumbing, and a rebuilt boiler. Modern comfort, original character intact. Outside, enjoy summer afternoons by the pool, evenings on the aggregate patio, and the privacy of a fenced backyard. A detached two-car garage with EV charging adds another modern convenience. Located just steps from the University of Detroit Mercy and minutes from Palmer Park. Some homes simply have a way of making you feel at home. Come experience this one for yourself.
