Property description
Positioned within a highly sought-after pocket of Grosse Pointe, this cape cod residence blends sophisticated design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a welcoming neighborhood spirit. Those familiar with this area know it for its tree-canopied streets, neighborly pride, and unparalleled convenience to shopping, dining, waterfront parks, and top-rated schools. It’s a place where morning walks are met with friendly waves, children bike safely to friends’ houses, and homeowners take genuine pride in every property—making this location one of the city’s best-kept lifestyle secrets. Step inside to discover a home that has been completely reimagined with an eye toward both elegance and everyday function. At the heart of the main level is a chef’s kitchen, meticulously designed by Chris Blake, featuring a striking center island, dedicated beverage station with built-in ice maker, custom banquet seating, premium appliances, and abundant prep space. This culinary hub flows naturally into an inviting family room anchored by a natural fireplace and custom cabinetry—an effortless space for both entertaining and quiet evenings. The dining room exudes tailored sophistication, offering an ideal setting for intimate dinners and holiday gatherings. Nearby, a newly created first-floor suite provides flexibility as a guest retreat or primary bedroom. French doors lead from this serene space onto a weather-resistant deck, seamlessly connecting indoor comfort with outdoor living. A stylish powder room, thoughtfully designed mudroom with built-ins, and upgraded finishes complete the level, ensuring convenience without compromising beauty. Upstairs, a luxurious second primary suite awaits, featuring a generous dressing room, spa-inspired bath with heated flooring, and an adjacent laundry area for ultimate practicality. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated full bath, providing ample accommodations for family and visitors. Throughout, solid-core doors, new windows, and refined materials convey quality in every detail. The lower level expands the home’s versatility, offering a finished recreation area, additional storage, and a modern half bath—perfect for play, hobbies, or a private home gym. Outside, the property continues to impress. A newly poured aggregate walkway and porch welcome guests through a striking mahogany front door, while the rear yard is designed for both entertainment and relaxation. Enjoy gatherings on the deck or patio, evenings around a built-in firepit, and gardens framed by professional landscaping that enhances beauty year-round. Mechanical systems have been conscientiously maintained, with recent improvements including newer furnace, air conditioning, and roof, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. This home is more than a stunning renovation—it’s a testament to how thoughtful design, quality construction, and the right neighborhood can elevate daily living.
