More photos coming soon!
Set on a picturesque block lined with a canopy of mature trees, this 1928 Dutch Colonial is one of the older homes in Grosse Pointe Woods and has been lovingly owned by the same family for 32 years. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 1,637 sq. ft. above grade plus a 624 sq. ft. partially finished basement, the home blends timeless charm with versatile living space across four levels.
Inside, high ceilings and hardwood floors flow throughout (many preserved beneath carpeting and ready to be revealed). The light-filled living room features a fireplace flanked by built-in shelving and crown moulding. The formal dining room highlights a distinctive arched doorway and leads to a kitchen, breakfast nook, and half bath awaiting updates. On the second floor are three bedrooms and a full bath with vintage character, ready for modernization.
The walk-up third floor sits higher than nearby homes, with a south-facing window offering skyline views—ideal as a fourth bedroom, office, or retreat. The basement offers laundry, utility, workshop areas, and an additional full bath. Updates include a Lennox furnace & A/C (<10 yrs) and water heater (<4 yrs).
Outside, enjoy an idyllic front porch, fenced backyard with patio, and a 2-car garage. Excellent location: five houses from Josef’s and two blocks from the Mack Ave social district. Also close to I-94, the St. Clair Shores Social District, and the Nautical Mile. Top-rated schools are within walking or cycling distance. Residents enjoy access to Grosse Pointe Woods’ private Lake Front Park, plus nearby shops and dining.
Best of all, this is the least expensive home per square foot in the Grosse Pointe Public School District—including all five Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods—making it an outstanding value.
Home is being sold as-is. Buyer must assume responsibility for all City of Grosse Pointe Woods Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) violations.
