Property Description
Positioned in New Center Commons, this 3-bedroom, 2 + 1/2 bath home with garage parking brings together timeless character and everyday functionality in one of Detroit's most connected locations. Inside, original details set the tone - rich wood floors, natural wood trim, pocket doors, and built-in linen cabinets that add extra charm. The living room centers around a natural wood-burning fireplace, flanked by built-in cabinets, with window seats that invite you to settle in while keeping everything neatly tucked away in clever storage below. Just beyond, the dining room features a built-in wet bar, creating an easy flow for hosting or unwinding at the end of the day. Upstairs, the primary suite offers something rare - a private roof deck that opens up your living space and gives you a quiet outdoor escape. The large attic provides a clear path for future expansion, whether you're thinking additional living space, a studio, or a home office. Outside, a backyard patio extends your space even further, with room to relax or entertain. A two-car garage plus an additional off-street parking space adds convenience that's hard to find at this price point. Location matters - and this one keeps you close to it all. You're just off Woodward Ave and Grand Blvd, with quick access to the Lodge Freeway, Pallister Park and playground, at the end of the block, the Peter Cummings dog park a block away, and minutes from many services, shops, and innovative restaurants. Sitting just north of Midtown and close to Henry Ford Hospital and its ongoing expansion, this is a smart move for anyone looking to stay connected to where the city is growing. If you've been waiting for a home with character, space to grow, and a location that supports your lifestyle - this is it. NEZ-Homestead tax abatement eligible.
