Property Description
Nestled on one of Grosse Pointe Park's most beautiful tree lined streets, this thoughtfully renovated Colonial seamlessly blends timeless architecture with modern comfort. A striking Pewabic tiled foyer creates a memorable first impression, introducing a home rich in original character, quality craftsmanship, and beautifully preserved architectural details. Hardwood floors, classic millwork, and abundant natural light carry throughout the gracious living spaces. The spacious living room centers around a handsome fireplace and flows effortlessly into a versatile adjoining room, perfect as a library, studio, or home office, with direct access to one of the home's beautiful brick paver patios. The generously sized dining room is positioned at the front of the home, while the beautifully renovated kitchen overlooks the backyard and features custom cabinetry, premium appliances, a large butcher block island, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, brass hardware, and exceptional storage. The second floor features a spacious primary suite with a walk in closet and a beautifully renovated bath, along with three additional bedrooms and an updated full bath. The finished third floor offers another bedroom with its own full bath. The finished lower level expands the home's living space with a spacious recreation room, media area, exercise space, a large laundry room, half bath, generous storage, and a cedar closet. Outside, professionally designed brick paver patios invite effortless entertaining while overlooking an unusually deep, beautifully landscaped backyard with mature trees, open lawn, and a three car garage, creating an exceptional setting for relaxing or entertaining. Ideally located in the heart of Grosse Pointe Park, this home is just minutes from The Village's shops and restaurants, top rated schools, and the community's resident only lakefront parks, offering swimming pools, marinas, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, playgrounds, movie theater, and beautiful waterfront gathering spaces. Combining classic architecture, thoughtful renovations, and an exceptional location, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Grosse Pointe Park's truly special homes.
