Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from October 26, 2023
Discover timeless elegance in this meticulously restored and renovated 1908 Arts and Crafts Boston Edison Historic District home. 140 Longfellow was built for Frank and Mary Chope (wheel and buggy manufacturer E. Chope & Son) by Smith, Hinchman, and Grylls, designers of iconic buildings Meadowbrook Hall and the Penobscot and Guardian Buildings. This 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is a rare gem. The warmth, craftsmanship, and detail blend period charm with modern conveniences. It is beautifully landscaped, with an expansive porch and swing. Exquisite architectural detail and custom millwork are artful beauty. The color palette is from the Sherwin Williams Arts and Crafts collection. The parlor, living and dining rooms showcase wood beams, a window seat, leaded glass and cabinets, and refinished oak floors. The windows are original and restored. There are two fireplaces with detailed woodwork, one with Pewabic tile. The owner has restored or handcrafted many of the light fixtures. The new kitchen features custom handcrafted cabinets with soft close drawers, Soapstone countertops, a farmhouse sink, a downdraft stove with a gas cooktop, and stainless- steel appliances. The rectangular peninsula is a plus for meals and entertaining with a Butler’s Pantry. The first-floor laundry is in the powder room. The primary bedroom has a separate space for an office or bathroom. The full bath has dual pedestal sinks, an original clawfoot tub, and a walk-in shower. The 3rd floor has 800 sq. feet for a studio, theater, or nanny suite, with a full bath and dressing area. The 2-car garage, fenced yard and back porches extend the tranquility. Peace of mind features include new HVAC (dual furnaces and A/C), roof, electrical wiring and insulation. This enchanting home is nestled on the peaceful street of Longfellow on the block between Voigt Park and Woodward. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this home—one of the finest in the neighborhood—yours and live in one of Detroit’s premier historic districts.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNW is an average school but has the potential to be great. The majority teachers try there best to educate the students. Many teachers not only teach, they act as parent figures, help students financially, donate clothing, and encourage emotionally challenged students. The major issue I found however, as a former teacher/staff member, teachers cannot teach because they are too busy disciplining. A teacher has to call security, then it takes about 30 minutes of class time to settle the students and write an incident report, wasting valuable lesson time. Additionally, there are little to no consequences for students that act out and fight in the classroom. Students may get suspended for a day or two for there actions but laugh it off as a few days vacation. Many teachers endure disrespectful swearing, and some are scared and intimidated. Many kids walk the hallways with sagging pants disrupting other class rooms. I believe the leadership at NW truly means well, however there is a serious disciplinary problem that needs to be fixed. Some security at the school are more like friends with the students instead of disciplinarians. Fix this problem and this school will be great.Other Review11y ago - Thirkell Elementary School
