1530 Longfellow, Detroit, MI 48206

Space and light define this meticulously renovated home in the Boston Edison Historic District. The proportions and distinguished character of an established Detroit residence, with generous room sizes, large windows, and original trim features, are set in an open, airy layout creating a home that is elegant and warm. The first floor foyer, with original tile, opens into a wide central hallway, from which flow a series of connected living spaces. On the left, the large living room is anchored by a working fireplace. Original wainscoting brings warmth and character to the adjacent light-filled office/library. On the right, French doors open into the dining room, which features a window seat underneath a broad expanse of windows. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen with soft-toned, custom cabinetry and range hood, and a large island that provides a central gathering place. A powder room at the end of the hallway and a mudroom off the kitchen complete the first floor. The second floor includes a primary suite, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Each of the three bedrooms is large enough to accommodate a seating area, desk, or reading corner. The windows in the sunroom at the back look out over the back yard. On the third floor, two bedrooms and a cheerful yellow bathroom provide an inviting, convenient layout for children or guests. Located on a block lined with mature trees and filled with historic charm, this home is both distinguished and genuinely welcoming.
