Property Description

Set on a classic Detroit streetscape in the Marygrove neighborhood, this historic 3-bedroom Tudor blends timeless architecture with thoughtful modern updates. Meticulously renovated, the home preserves its original character while elevating everyday living. Modern improvements enhance comfort and function, including a full kitchen with appliances, extended cabinetry, quartz countertops; high-quality laminate flooring throughout and a spa-appointed bathroom with a separate soaking tub and walk-in shower. The steam radiant heat furnace delivers even, ambient warmth with balanced humidity for year-round comfort. Let's talk historic features: Ornate crown moldings and ceiling medallions anchor the main living spaces. Leaded glass windows and doors feature geometric and floral motifs, filtering bright natural light throughout the home. The fireplace is decorated with symmetrical tile work, inspired by Arts & Crafts styling. "They don't make them like they used to." Moving to the basement, the lower level is designed for entertaining, featuring a recreation room with wet bar, shuffleboard court, and lavatory - ideal for gatherings, game nights, or movie nights. Above it all, the expansive third-level attic offers exceptional potential for a future primary suite, creative space, or generous storage. Outdoors, the backyard provides the perfect setting for gardening, barbecues, and bonfires, while a large two-car garage adds convenience and functionality. Located along Livernois and McNichols, which are transforming into lively retail corridors, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Detroit's architectural legacy in a community experiencing thoughtful reinvestment and renewed energy. Buyers seeking character, space, and long-term upside are invited to explore this exceptional property, and imagine the next chapter within its storied walls. Located in an NEZ-Homestead tax abatement district, where owners can enjoy up to 20% off a tax bill as an owner-occupant.
