This lovingly preserved classic Tudor has been brought back to life using a color palette inspired by the rooms at the DIA. Notable original features include hardwood floors, a natural fireplace, mullioned windows, picture frame moldings, and wainscoting. The modern kitchen is equipped with stone counters, a tiled backsplash, and a custom-built breakfast nook with functional storage. The first floor also includes a sunny bedroom and charming half-bath, while the upstairs offers two spacious bedrooms, each with a cozy vestibule. The outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed for sustainability. The front yard comprises two rain gardens built by a master rain gardener and naturalist, which divert rain away from the property, channel water deep underground, and provide a habitat for native plant and animal species. Registered as a Backyard National Park and listed on the registry of SE Michigan rain gardens, the property hosts native and migratory species, including monarch butterflies. The native plants, supplied by Friends of the Rouge, include wild bergamot, black-eyed Susan, blue vervain, blue flag iris, and boneset. These are accompanied by traditional varietals such as peony, spicebush, elephant ear, Chinese lantern, coral bells, and a Bloodgood Japanese Maple tree. The backyard oasis features a gravel patio surrounded by an additional rain garden filled with native plants that will grow to form a natural fence. It also includes a 45-gallon rain barrel and decorative bushes, including rose, hibiscus, and peony. A covered awning further helps divert water away from the property to the rain garden. Desirable East English Village is ideally located just six minutes from Trader Joe’s, fifteen minutes from Downtown Detroit, and around the corner from Balduck Park, which offers walking trails, a dog park, and various recreational facilities. Walkable amenities on E Warren include dining, coffee, a bookstore, library, and the East Warren Farmers Market. Owner occupied.
