NEW PRICE - BELOW APPRAISED VALUE!!! Welcome to 18925 Birchcrest Drive, an exquisite Tudor Revival in Detroit’s historic University District. Built in 1929, this architectural gem is rich in original character and thoughtfully updated for modern living. Step through the leaded glass entry and into a grand living space where hand-crafted moldings, hardwood floors, and a stately limestone fireplace set the tone. The dining room and library continue the story, featuring ornate craftsmanship and built-in leaded glass bookshelves.
Both bathrooms boast original fixtures and coveted Pewabic tile, including a stunning stained and leaded glass window in the second-floor bath. Recent upgrades include a new roof ($48K in 2024 with 50-year warranty), solar panels (2021), Detroit-made Weathergard windows (2021 with 35-year warranty), and a new sewer line (2023). Mitsubishi cooling/heating units in 3 spaces (living room, breakfast nook, and master bedroom) provide cooling in the summer and additional heat in winter.
Outside, enjoy a beautifully landscaped yard, brick two-car garage, and spacious backyard patio, perfect for entertaining. The unfinished basement offers unlimited potential, whether you envision a studio, wine cellar, or additional living space.
Located on a tree-lined block with neighborhood patrol, snow removal, and an active garden club, you’ll love being just minutes from the Avenue of Fashion, Detroit Golf Club, and University of Detroit Mercy. With quick access to Woodward Avenue and major thoroughfares, you're minutes away from downtown and the communities along the Woodward corridor.
