Historic Character Meets Modern Comfort in Sherwood Forest. This timeless beauty in Detroit's historic Sherwood Forest neighborhood blends classic architecture with thoughtful updates for today's lifestyle. Behind the stately façade lies a spacious and inviting floor plan, ideal for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. The dramatic living room stuns with rare 20-foot cathedral ceilings, original wood beams, and one of the home's three natural fireplaces.
The first-floor primary suite offers a true retreat with its own fireplace, updated bathroom featuring heated floors and a steam Grohe shower system, plus a walkout to the private deck and inground gunite pool—refinished in 2021 with new tile, coping, plumbing.
Gleaming original woodwork, slate foyer, granite kitchen counters, and winding lower-level staircases add architectural intrigue throughout. Recent updates include air conditioning (2022 - $30,000), modernized electrical system, window and door repairs (2022 - $17,000), and new flat roofing and exterior drainage system.
Additional features include a 2-car garage, dedicated study, ample storage, and family room. Located near the Avenue of Fashion and downtown Ferndale, this home is part of a designated Historic District with community perks like private security patrol, mosquito abatement, and snow removal.
