About this home
Beautifully maintained and full of timeless character, this classic two-story Colonial is ideally situated on one of Grosse Pointe Park's most desirable streets, just steps from the shores of Lake St. Clair and exclusive resident-only Windmill Pointe Park. Originally designed by noted architect C. E. Witte and built in 1937, this home perfectly blends historic charm with thoughtful updates and exceptional pride of ownership. From the moment you arrive, the home impresses with outstanding curb appeal, mature landscaping, and a welcoming presence. Inside, gorgeous hardwood floors flow throughout much of the home, complemented by rich architectural details, abundant natural light, and two natural fireplaces that create warmth and character throughout the living spaces. The inviting breakfast nook and beautifully maintained kitchen offer the perfect setting for everyday living, while the spacious living and dining areas are ideal for entertaining. A stunning sunroom with gorgeous maple flooring provides a peaceful retreat year-round - the perfect place to relax with morning coffee while enjoying the lake breeze, tranquil surroundings, and sounds of the nearby waterfront. Recent updates include a newer roof (2017), updated windows, newer hot water tank, newer driveway, and a sprinkler system servicing the front yard. The oversized two-car garage features electric doors and openers for added convenience, & finished basement! Enjoy an unmatched lifestyle with walkability to Windmill Pointe Park, offering residents-only amenities including a movie theater, swimming pool, marina and boat wells, fitness facilities, parks, and waterfront gathering spaces. Also nearby are Patterson Park, the vibrant West Park shopping and dining district with boutique coffee shops and restaurants, and the highly acclaimed Grosse Pointe Public School System. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved home in one of Metro Detroit's most sought-after lakefront communities.
