Description

Legend had it there was a Governor's Gala event here in the 90's. After viewing the home myself I'm not sure why H.W. Bush didn't require the secret service to do the same. This historical home is simply stunning! There is no shortage of charm, class or coziness with this one. They don't build them like this anymore. The first stone house built on Grosse Ile (1860) and designed by famed architect, Gordon Lloyd, is anchored with the thickest of stone walls. The location doesn't get better! Located in the East River historic district on a corner lot with just over an acre of lush grass with privacy provided by sturdy trees, shrubbery and the river front across the street. Great care and attention was made to restore the home but also keep the radiance of yesteryear. Lloyd was ahead of his time in constructing this handsome home. Gray stone, with pointed gables and tall chimneys are remarkable. The architecture in each room will actually have you enjoying watching paint dry (if you decide to paint?). The Green Giant is welcome with rooms that are large and high-ceilinged. A grandiose conservatory of almost all glass was added in 2001 to allow for a spacious area to enjoy stunning views of the Detroit River. The open concept kitchen has been completely updated with a center island, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The formal dining room is a triple threat as you'll be enjoying company, a delicious dinner and picturesque water front views. The home has 3 fireplaces, 2 stair cases and 1 unforgettable vibe. Another kitchen has been added to the 2 car attached garage. Bonus space comes in the form of the detached garage in the back of the property. Exit through the living room door or the convenient Bilco basement doors to get to the private patio in back. You may feel like meditation is in order as the soothing waterfall pond greets you as you enter the home from the side porch. Come see this historical legend in all it's class & beauty today!

  • T'Angler

  • Francesca S.
    "It can be difficult on days when one of the bridges are closed for maintenance. "

  • Slapekas
    "It’s an outdoor community. It has great bike trails and natural area to walk. There are a lot of festivals and community activities."
  • Dlssmart
    "It is safe, full of trees, wildlife and birds. Small community feel, know some of our neighbors but only lived here less than a year. "
  • Elijah T.
    "We have been on the island since 2011, and have fallen in love with the area. It is not uncommon for us to see deer wandering through our property, and the public schools here are excellent! Our home is also on the bicycle trail, and is only 2 blocks from the sledding hill (both of which our kids love). The property is ~ 1/3 of an acre; giving our dogs plenty of room to run. We have gardens on the property, which have produced significant amounts of pesticide free, organic, food for us and our children. We have upgraded the hot water heater, and have reinsulated the entire attic, as well as the exterior walls. We all wish we didn't have to move, but I "
  • Bjensen
    "Excellent schools and the safest place in Michigan. Water, trees wildlife all around. Township provides: Many miles of bike trails, a farm/community center, golf course, 600 plus acres of greenspace with trails, airport, marina, sledding hill, soccer fields, kayak launch, lots of woods/wildife. Two private golf clubs and three private boat clubs, a tennis club, alpaca farm, Azalia farm/nursery. Water/boats everyhwere. This is a great, close-knit island community. The fire and police forces are top notch. Traffic is calm and slow. You just cannot beat this place for families and retirees. "
  • Bjensen
    "You will not find a better place to live for families and retirees. Note: I did nto say a better place to live in Michigan - you will be hard pressed to find a better place to live period. It is like living at summer camp all year. Water everywhere. Lots of open space - woods and wildlife, virtually no crime, phenomenal schools fabulous housing options, reasonable/rational law enforcement, code enforcement and the like (not crazy or anal like some places). The place is kind of lie a throwback to the 1950s. Downsides: Price is high, access to freeway takes 15 minutes, no real nightlife or shopping on the island (other than groceries); no diversity. Kids come out of the schools well educated, but often very naive. "
