About This Home
Located in Detroit’s historic Art Center neighborhood, this residence offers the kind of character and walkability that continue to make this area one of Midtown’s most desirable pockets. Just steps from the Detroit Institute of Arts, College for Creative Studies, Wayne State University, the Detroit Medical Center, cafés, restaurants, and the QLINE, the location places some of the city’s best cultural and everyday destinations within easy reach. Set within a classic brick building surrounded by historic architecture, the unit blends original detail with practical modern updates. Rich wood trim, built-in millwork, hardwood floors, and a striking coffered ceiling give the main living space warmth and personality rarely found in newer construction. Large bay windows bring in great natural light and overlook the neighborhood’s tree-lined streets and historic homes. The single-level layout offers comfortable, well-connected living spaces. The living room feels open yet inviting, while the kitchen features stone countertops, slate tile flooring, generous cabinet space, and direct access to a private outdoor deck—an uncommon feature in Midtown condo living and a great extension of the space during warmer months. Additional features include in-unit laundry, dedicated storage, and one detached garage parking space included with the unit. Art Center is known for its mix of historic buildings, cultural institutions, and residential streets that feel connected to the energy of Midtown without being directly in the middle of it. A rare opportunity to own a residence with authentic architectural character in one of Detroit’s most established neighborhoods.
