Exquisitely restored, this 1930s Tudor offers nearly 1,500 square feet of historic charm. A rounded entry door and classic Detroit vestibule set the tone for stunning period details throughout—wood floors and trim, a wrought iron banister, decorative plasterwork, arches, and gorgeous vintage tile. Through an interior Tudor arch, the sunlit living room opens into the dining room, and an adorable kitchen comes with open-shelving, farmhouse sink, vintage tile and an attached breakfast nook with wainscoting. The versatile sunroom can be used as a light-flooded den, office, playroom, or workshop. Upstairs, the expansive primary bedroom boasts enough space for a king bed and dressing room or sitting area, while the secondary bedroom opens onto a balcony overlooking the fully fenced backyard with raised garden beds, ready for spring and summer. In the basement, there's ample room for utilities plus a cozy artist’s studio (complete with statement fireplace), which could be finished as an additional living area or customized flex space.
In addition to historic homes and a tight-knit community, the Morningside neighborhood offers the convenience of nearby Grosse Pointe amenities while benefiting from the East Warren Streetscape Initiative—a revitalization project enhancing the area’s vibrancy with new businesses, pedestrian-friendly streets, and community spaces.
