1060 Wimbleton Drive

About this home

A rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Birmingham architectural history. Designed by renowned architect Wallace Frost, this 1928 Tudor-style residence at Wimbleton Terrace offers the character, craftsmanship and intimate scale that make Frost-designed homes so admired. A private covered entrance opens to an inviting foyer with original antique brick flooring, introducing an interior rich with period detail. Hardwood floors, coved ceilings, crown moldings, wet-plaster walls, French doors, marble window sills and original doors and hardware reflect an era when homes were designed with artistry and permanence in mind. The gracious living room is anchored by a handsome fireplace with marble surround, while the adjoining family room features built-in shelving and provides a comfortable setting for reading or conversation. With approximately 1,572 square feet, the residence offers three bedrooms and two-and-one-half baths, including a primary bedroom with private bath. Outdoors, a private brick patio provides a charming extension of the living space. An attached one-car garage adds everyday convenience—an especially welcome feature in a historic residence. Located in Birmingham's desirable Poppleton Park neighborhood, just minutes from downtown Birmingham's restaurants, shopping and amenities, this is much more than condominium living. It is an opportunity to become the steward of an authentic Wallace Frost residence—one that combines architectural provenance, enduring craftsmanship and the convenience of a highly desirable Birmingham location.

How it compares in Birmingham

Over the last 90 days, 102 homes sold in Birmingham for a median of $907,000, about $331 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 18 days. This home is listed at $389,000, or $247 per square foot, 25% below the city median, and has been on the market 35 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Birmingham sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $6,459 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $6,524 to $7,493 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 38.14 mills for Birmingham City and Birmingham schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
