Property Description
An original Mason & Rice mansion built in 1892. This Victorian beauty perfectly blends original charm, renowned craftsmanship, and modern living. Sitting only a stone's throw away from Lake St. Clair, this three-story gem with a two-car garage is a dream home for those who would love to own a piece of history. The home features an updated gourmet kitchen, stainless steel Wolf appliances, a huge island, and plenty of cupboard space; it’s a chef’s dream kitchen. The first-floor office, located in the turret, features beautiful bench seating, wood floors, and a spectacular view of the patio and grounds. On the third floor, you will find more than enough space for a studio apartment with a bedroom, living area, and workspace. Best of all, you can see Lake St. Clair out the Northeast windows. All of this sits under one roof, on nearly one acre, all fenced in with a wrought iron gate. The home, which has been lovingly restored and improved over the years, includes a Generac Generator System, refinished hardwood floors, new dishwasher, renovated primary bathroom, renovated guest ensuite bathroom, new “Smart” Bryant furnace for the main floor, new furnace for the third floor, installed a whole home aroma system, replaced burners on central floor fireplaces, new patio door, new Anderson windows (preserved the lead glass windows in the dining room & main staircase), new roof,new gutters, and new garage doors. This historic home has too many features to list. So instead, you must see for yourself the grandeur it offers; an original beauty with deep-seated history right on Lake Shore Drive.
