About This Home
As of December 2018Welcome to Detroit Home Magazines 2011 "House of The Year". A landmark home on one of the most desired streets in all of Birmingham.

This contemporary masterpiece rests on an incredibly private ravine just steps from town. The property has won numerous design awards incl.: 2013 AIA Michigan Honor Award & AIA Detroit Honor Award, 2012 & 2011 Detroit Home Design Awards (Master Suite -Deck/Patio/Porch, Large Remodel Over 1,000 square feet Addition Project & Contemporary Architecture Under 4,000) Fireplaces in living and family rooms. Cathedral ceiling in living room. Wood beams. Spacious master suite with three walk-in-closets, his and hers sinks, steam shower, soaking tub and sitting area. Very private covered balcony off master
