About This Home

As of July 2025

A Front Row Seat on the Thorofare Canal! With 103’ of seawall water frontage and breathtaking sunrises from your deck, this beautifully updated 3 bed, 2 bath brick ranch offers 2,764 sq ft of refined living space and a lifestyle that feels like a daily retreat. Enjoy morning coffee or a summer rain under the covered deck—rebuilt in 2024—while watching one of Grosse Ile’s most cherished waterways. The parklike yard is a haven for bird watchers and wildlife lovers. Inside, the open concept layout has been expanded for entertaining and everyday comfort. The kitchen features Brookhaven Wood-Mode cabinetry, granite counters, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, trash compactor, and beverage fridge. Great room and kitchen were expanded in 2002 and include massive dual door walls with transom windows, tray ceiling, and gas fireplace. The adjacent living room includes a wood-burning insert with Heatilator. Seamless hardwood floors run throughout the main living space. A split bedroom design adds privacy, with a spacious primary en suite addition. Andersen windows throughout the home enhance natural light and energy efficiency. The oversized 3.5 car garage includes rear access and attic storage. A flex room offers space for hobbies, storage, or office use. This pet-free home includes thoughtful updates: crawl space encapsulation by FSM (2014), new furnace & A/C (2022), hot water heater (2019), Leaf Filter gutter protection & downspouts (2024), and covered porch roof (1991). This is a rare offering—don’t miss your chance to live on Canal Time.
