About this home

1939 CHARMER ON THE CANAL. A storybook-type place where time slows and the outdoors beckon you to play! Perfectly perched above the canal on the island of Grosse Ile, this 1939 home is more than a residence - it's a retreat where history, charm, and the water's edge come together. Tucked along a quaint dirt road, the home feels like it's in a world of its own. The private boathouse and decking connect you directly to the water - just imagine your coffee canal-side before your morning kayak, or spending summer weekends boating with family and friends. Evenings bring peaceful sunsets reflecting across the water. This brick beauty is ready for the next chapter in its story. Schedule your private showing TODAY!

About Grosse

Ile

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.
