Property Description

Presenting a Mid-Century Modern design dream with 21st century modern peace of mind. This rare gem anchors a large corner lot in the coveted Milk River neighborhood of St. Clair Shores. Just moments from the Nautical Mile, Grosse Pointe Shores, and the shimmering aqua shores of Lake St. Clair, the location alone is a love letter to lakeside living. This 1956 Mid-Century Modern ranch is looking to be cherished by its next owner! Step inside and feel the decade that got design right! A slate tile entry floor sets a tone of quiet elegance, while the natural fireplace framed by its large slate tiled hearth invites you to slow down. With the original refinished hardwood floors throughout the home, blonde wood doors with their brass knobs, a sky blue main bathroom with matching tile and fixtures; plus, the coveted Lady Bird Johnson Pink tiled half bath, this home is dripping with MCM character. Plus, the original NuTone range hood, bathroom vent fans, and in-counter appliance motor pay homage to the MCM roots that stand the test of time. 21st century modern updates include custom-designed Pella casement windows, upgraded lighting and electrical, a newer roof, gutters, furnace, AC, hot water tank, and glass block basement windows to ensure the home performs like it was just built. The best of both worlds, preserved with intention, offering you peace of mind. This home has 3 bedrooms, and a flex room (use as a 4th bedroom, den, or home office). The partially finished basement carries the spirit of the era downstairs, where a retro bar and rec room are made for gathering. A large workroom rounds out the lower level for the hobbyist or the dreamer. Outside, flowering trees and ornamental landscaping frame a yard with a patio enclosed by a wooden privacy fence. This backyard feels like a secret garden. A one-car garage and generous corner lot complete this rare find. Homes like this don't come along often. The ones who recognize it will move fast.
