Nestled in the vibrant heart of Brush Park, this meticulously restored home stands as a testament to timeless elegance and architectural brilliance. It has been featured in many motion pictures as an iconic symbol of Detroit’s history and culture. Originally crafted in 1876 by renowned architects Henry Brush and George Mason, this Venetian Gothic marvel was brought back to life through meticulous restoration and renovation efforts. The kitchen is a perfect blend of vintage elegance and contemporary convenience. Custom-crafted cabinets with marble tops, tall paneled doors, and custom brass latches evoke the spirit of the era, while stainless steel appliances fuel all of your culinary adventures.

Today, Brush Park is the epicenter of Detroit’s ongoing revival, surrounded by the city’s hottest restaurants and amenities. Minutes away, you’ll find world-class entertainment at Comerica Park, Little Caesars Arena, and Ford Field, as well as top-tier medical facilities like DMC and Henry Ford Hospital. 24-hour private neighborhood security. Once it’s gone, it’s gone for good—there’s nothing else like this historic gem.
