***Highest & Best, Sunday May 26, 6:00 PM *** Calling all historical home lovers! Welcome to this 1937 Art Deco masterpiece, located in one of Grosse Pointe's most captivating neighborhoods. This home has been meticulously maintained and preserved over the last 88 years. Designed by the talented architect Lyle F. Zisler, a Detroit native, this, his family home, showcases his unparalleled skill and vision. Upon its completion, the Detroit News hailed it as an "Ultra-Modern style house in Detroit." The two-story home is constructed of light-colored sandstone and features two-story glass block windows on the front and side elevation. The foyer welcomes you to a bright and airy living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the beautiful backyard. Curved glass block windows extend from the basement, providing a perfect spot for your morning coffee or afternoon tea. The fireplace, with its original aluminum andirons and Vitrolite tiles, promises to create many wonderful family memories during the holidays. Both the kitchen and breakfast nook have east-facing windows that capture the morning light. The kitchen boasts a warm German Silver countertop and original cabinets. Follow the curved aluminum railing on the film-like sweeping staircase to the second floor, which features four bedrooms, two full baths, and a spacious outdoor balcony. The primary suite with its balcony captures the era’s charm, and the Art Deco Vitrolite bathroom that includes a large glass block wall, tiled shower, and all original fixtures. The finished walkout basement provides an additional 700 square feet of recreation space. It features an original copper fireplace, curved walls, and extended glass blocks with two exterior doors. Additional features include a two-car attached garage, a screened-in back porch, a large outdoor patio, a new roof (2023), basement waterproof (2020) and much more. Enjoy nearby amenities, boutiques, restaurants, a community lakefront park and pool. This is an one-of-a-kind home to be admired and celebrated!
