Classic Cape Cod charm. Completely reimagined living. Welcome to 656 Washington, where a stunning transformation brings an open floor plan, first-floor primary suite and exceptional outdoor living together in the heart of Grosse Pointe City. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone. Inside, hardwood floors, abundant natural light and thoughtfully connected living spaces make everyday living as inviting as entertaining. The living room offers a welcoming gathering space centered around a fireplace, while the beautifully renovated kitchen takes center stage with white cabinetry, an expansive waterfall island with seating, stainless steel appliances and generous prep space. An open dining area keeps everyone connected, and the family room offers a second fireplace, vaulted ceiling and direct access to the patio. The first-floor primary bedroom features an updated ensuite bath with dual vanities and a spacious glass-enclosed shower. Main-floor laundry and a mudroom add everyday convenience. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, an updated full bath and a separate sitting room provide flexible space for guests, a home office or hobbies, with potential to convert the sitting room into a fourth bedroom. Updated bathrooms throughout and a finished basement with a bar, additional bath and room for movie nights, games or gathering extend the home's versatility. Outside, the patio becomes an extension of your living space. An adjustable louvered awning and electric privacy shades let you manage sun, shade and seclusion, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining, quiet evenings and year-round dips in the hot tub, which stays. Whether you want the ease of first-floor living, space to work from home or room for changing needs, this renovated Cape Cod delivers. A central Grosse Pointe location puts schools and The Village’s shops and restaurants within walking distance, with Neff Park nearby. Beautifully updated, wonderfully flexible and ready for its next chapter.
