Built in 1913

Welcome to the Walloon House in Detroit's vibrant Historic West Village Neighborhood. Built in 1913, this gracious residence is a literal showplace of period architectural features & mill work that could not be duplicated today w/o exorbitant expense. Original owner was a specialty lumber broker so each room on the 1st floor displays a different type of fine wood. The 1st floor floorplan is formal w/a parlor & LR w/a Pewabic tile fireplace off the elegant foyer. Absolutely stunning staircase w/a charming powder room tucked behind it. Generous formal DR that could easily accommodate a table for 12 comfortably. Cozy, private library w/beautiful built in storage & display shelving. Spacious kitchen is at the rear of the 1st floor w/a fabulous period wood pantry, the original ice box, & a clever butler's pantry for the family heirloom China & flatware. The kitchen also has a back staircase for access to the 2nd and 3rd floors. Hardwood floors, wet plaster walls, coved ceilings...all original hardware, light fixtures, & tile throughout. In addition, the 1st floor has all 10 foot ceilings & leaded glass interior doors / pocket doors to open up or confine the space depending on the occasion. The 2nd floor has 5 bedrooms, each with its own WIC. The smallest of the 5 could easily be converted into a 2nd floor laundry or to add an addtl bath. The full bath has all of the original fixtures & tile. The 3rd floor is magnificent. The space has unlimited potential as a full suite, addtl living space, or a separate apt for a guest or au pair. The BSMT is enormous, open, & w/ 1/2 bath. The oversized 2 car garage is a must see. It has its own boiler & bath. The period doors open to both the driveway & to Shipherd Street. All brick exterior. Newer roof & sewer line. Priced well below 2024 SEV. Area w/o a doubt justifies future investment into home. Listing Agent must accompany all showings. POF or pre-approval letter with showing needed prior to all showings. BATVAI Please call Agent w/any questions
