Property Description
*Multiple Offers:" The seller is in receipt of multiple offers, all offers are due by 12:00PM-Noon on Sunday, June 14th. Custom designed & built in 1940 by the current owner's grandfather, this exceptional Pleasant Ridge home has remained in the same family for 86 years—a truly rare opportunity. Rich in history, craftsmanship, & thoughtful design, the home reflects an era when quality materials & enduring construction were paramount. Large bay windows in both the Living Room & Dining Room fill the interior w/ natural light, while wet plaster walls, coved ceilings, & 2 fireplaces preserve the home's timeless character. Freshly painted & updated neutral finishes create a light, airy atmosphere blending historic charm w/ modern comfort. The wide lot offers outstanding flexibility, including the potential of an approximately 14' x 25' first & 2nd story addition, The full, partially finished basement includes luxury vinyl floors & 2nd fireplace. The home's history is woven into its very structure. The hardwood floors were milled from oak trees harvested directly from the property. Lumber was sourced from respected local suppliers Erb, Lawson, & Durst, while much of the original hardware came from Frentz & Sons. Designed by a mechanical engineer specializing in heating & ventilation systems during Detroit's manufacturing boom, the home showcases thoughtful attention to natural light & cross-ventilation. Many windows were strategically placed to maximize airflow & the custom-designed double-hung windows, engineered to be removed for cleaning & maintenance, are an innovative feature for the era. Recent HVAC, plumbing, and electrical updates are a few of the many improvements managed by the homeowner. Mature trees continue to provide beauty, shade, & habitat for local wildlife. The owner fondly recalls watching Great Horned Owls perch in the property's cottonwood tree, hearing their calls on spring evenings. This is more than a home—it is a piece of Pleasant Ridge history!
