Timeless Tudor architecture and exceptional potential characterize this grand Palmer Woods residence. Located on a tree-lined street known for its beautiful homes, winding roads, and strong sense of community, this property offers excellent bones and the chance to create a truly spectacular retreat tailored for modern living and entertaining.
A welcoming foyer leads to a spacious living room with a fireplace, a large wood-paneled library, and a generous screened porch that encourages indoor-outdoor living. Classic details throughout include rich millwork, leaded-glass accents, original plasterwork, and beautifully tiled vintage bathrooms. Four fireplaces add warmth and character, while the lower level features terrazzo floors and ample space for recreation, storage, or creative reimagining.
With six bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, the layout offers flexibility for guest suites, working from home, or a thoughtful redesign. Its size, craftsmanship, and preserved architectural features present a rare opportunity to restore and personalize a Tudor of this caliber in one of Detroit's most admired neighborhoods.
Palmer Woods provides private security and road snow removal through its Special Assessment District. Convenient to Downtown Detroit, Ferndale, Birmingham, Palmer Park, the Detroit Golf Club, and the vibrant Livernois commercial district. This home qualifies for the NEZ-H property tax abatement.
