Property Description

Here is your opportunity to own a true classical gem in historic Indian Village! This extraordinary Colonial was designed and built in 1912 by Alpheus W. Chittenden and Charles Kotting, architects of the Detroit Boat Club, for attorney and Michigan Senator John D. Mackay. This stately home boasts a spacious yet inviting living room with mahogany pocket doors leading from the grand foyer, and a set of mahogany French doors opening to both the formal dining room and the four-seasons room. The first level also features a handsome study and a tastefully updated lavatory. The kitchen adjoins a butler’s pantry, an icebox alcove, and an adjacent keeping room, perfect for using as a breakfast kitchen, or expanding the kitchen should one desire. Allow the grand staircase to shepherd you to the second floor, which unfolds into five (5) bedrooms and three (3) full bathrooms to display an architecturally masterful balance of solitude and connection. The primary bedroom enjoys its own identical four-seasons room with private access from the bedroom. A bonus undeveloped third floor stands as a blank canvas, patiently awaiting transformation into the perfect flex space for the consummate artisan or hobbyist. The expansive backyard includes a serene rose garden, along with ample space to relax or play. Other timeless details include distinctive crown molding, picture molding for your art collection, Pewabic tile, painted canvas walls, and restored windows. Modern updates include a new roof (less than a year old), dual-zone central air, a new sprinkler system, updated electrical, a tankless water heater, a new sewer line, and a French drain with sump pump in the basement. The original shutters are also preserved and stored in the basement. A copy of the assessor's sketch supporting the advertised square footage can be found in the photos and in the documents link.
