Virtually every major system has been addressed, including plumbing, electrical, windows, copper gutters, HVAC, blown-in insulation, and a French drain system--providing peace of mind for years to come. Situated on an impressive 0.65-acre lot, additional highlights include a circular driveway and additional storage shed. A truly rare offering in Grosse Pointe Park, combining character, scale, modern updates, and an unbeatable location near the waterfront, resident-only parks, and just minutes from Downtown Detroit.
