600 Middlesex Rd Grosse Pointe Park, MI 48230

Just steps from Lake St. Clair, this sophisticated midcentury-modern split-level is located in one of the Grosse Pointes' original subdivisions. A five-bedroom/3.5 bathroom corner-lot home with side-entrance driveway sits on a quiet boulevard that shares its name with the title and setting of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Highly coveted midcentury details include elongated Roman brick walls and fireplace, open-plan first floor with peaked ceilings and sliding glass doors, a lower-level wood ceiling, and tasteful tile entryway. On a sizable lot with enviable views onto a lush green, tree-shrouded rear yard, this surprisingly expansive home has enormous curb appeal with a dark-grey facade and lipstick-red entry door. Among the 21st-century updates are an EV charger in the 2.5-car garage, and a contemporary kitchen. The quiet street spills into shoreline-hugging, low-traffic Windmill Pointe Boulevard that ends in a resident park with pool, marina, fitness center, and even a cinema that shows fresh box-office fare.
