Nestled in the heart of Grosse Pointe Farms, this beautifully preserved 1930s English Colonial has been thoughtfully updated to blend timeless character with warm, modern living. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the craftsmanship and charm that only a home of this era can offer — original plaster details, rich wood trim, arched doorways, and a bowed bay window — all impeccably maintained and enhanced with fresh finishes and contemporary updates. The brand new open kitchen features quartz countertops, custom soft-close cabinetry, and new stainless appliances, seamlessly connecting historic charm with everyday functionality. Refinished hardwood floors run throughout, while updated lighting and fixtures provide a fresh, inviting feel. The living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy gathering space and a separate family room overlooks the fenced backyard and brick patio — perfect for quiet mornings or lively summer evenings. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms include a serene primary suite with an all new master bathroom and walk-in closet. A second full bath has also been fully upgraded, including marble floors and a soaking tub serving the additional bedrooms. The finished basement adds even more versatility, offering a warm, rustic, cabin-style recreation space with bar area, a dedicated laundry room with new washer and dryer, and 3 generous storage rooms. Beyond the walls, this home offers: wonderful neighbors, a true sense of community, and walkable access to top schools, the Central Branch Library, The Hill, the Village, Farms Fresh Market, the Farms Pier, and summer evening strolls along Lake St. Clair. This is more than a house — it’s a home filled with character, comfort, and connection. A rare opportunity to own a piece of 1930s charm, thoughtfully reimagined for modern life
