This is a rare opportunity to own a Grosse Pointe mid-century modern jewel blending architectural significance with impeccable maintenance. The house was designed in 1954 in the International Style by local architect James Conn, who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright and Eero Saarinen. It retains most of its original iconic fittings and fixtures including Case porcelain, Crane chrome and Kirlin lighting. The first floor is a fully open-plan with floor to ceiling windows across the back. The living room has a natural wood-burning fireplace and built-in cabinetry with lighted alcove. The dining area is fitted with a Nelson Bubble lamp. The adjacent family room offers direct access to the original stone aggregate patio and courtyard-like back yard. The kitchen has been updated to preserve the MCM aesthetics and has abundant cabinetry, built-ins, an original skylight, a unique 15’ wide window and an adjacent laundry room. A half bath and library/den is separated from the dining area by folding louvered doors and could serve as a fourth bedroom. First-floor primary ensuite includes two double and one single closet plus a dressing area with built-in drawers and adjacent bath. Upstairs is a private space with two bedrooms with shared bath, five double closets and multiple built-ins, including a surprise kitchenette behind double doors. It provides a perfect space for an au pair, in-laws or guests. This iconic house is just a two block walk to the Farms Pier Park and Lake St. Clair. ***Also included in sale: Microwave in 2nd floor Kitchenette, Wall Unit in Family Room, Workbench and Drawer Units underneath and Metal Shelving Units in Basement.
