Set behind a Graceful Georgian Colonial Facade, this Home offers a Rare Blend of Comfort and Refinement. Three Well-Appointed Bedrooms are joined by a Versatile Second-Floor Office--Effortlessly Suited as a Fourth Bedroom. At the Heart of the Home, the Elevated Kitchen makes a Statement with Caesarstone Countertops, a striking Carrera Marble Backsplash, and a Curated Suite of High-End Appliances--a space Designed for both Everyday Living and Effortless Entertaining. Renovated Bathrooms and Rich Hardwood Floors continue the thoughtful Craftsmanship throughout, while a Stately Fireplace lends Warmth and Character to the Living Room. The Main-Floor Laundry adds a Layer of Everyday ease Rarely found Paired with this Level of Finish. The Great Room Commands Attention with a Dramatic Open Ceiling, offering Captivating Views into the Upper Level and filling the Space with Volume and Light. From Here, the Room Extends Gracefully to a Newly Finished Exposed Aggregate Patio, creating an Effortless Indoor-Outdoor Rhythm for Entertaining or Quiet Reflection. Beyond, a Sprawling . 60-Acre lot unfolds--Mature Trees framing the grounds in Privacy, with a 2-Car Attached Garage completing the Picture of Ease and Convenience. Beyond the Home itself lies a Lifestyle few can claim: Steps to Public Green Space with Canal Access for Kayaks and Paddleboards, moments from a Tranquil Wildlife Sanctuary, and woven into the Scenic Bike Path and Island Charm that make Grosse Ile so coveted.
Grosse Ile, located between the Trenton Channel of the Detroit River and the main Detroit River shipping channel, is a residential and waterfront Wyandotte neighborhood with island marinas and wooded parkland. The neighborhood reads as a patchwork of mid-century ranches, newer waterfront builds, and quiet lanes that end at canals or river views. The island’s character concentrates around the Grosse Ile Parkway corridor near Macomb Street, where boat slips, local eateries, and small service shops set a nautical, weekend-in-motion tone. Community pillars include the Grosse Ile Golf & Country Club, the Grosse Ile Historical Society & Museum, and the Grosse Ile Township Library. Water-oriented recreation shapes daily rhythms, from launches and sailing to shoreline walks. Bridges at the north and south ends frame a distinct, self-contained geography.
