About this home
Here’s your opportunity to own an Italian Renaissance Revival-style Colonial in Detroit’s enchanting Indian Village! Designed by architect William F. Goodrich and built in 1912 for socialite Catherine Elisabeth Barnard (nee Moran), daughter of attorney and Michigan Senator Charles Moran, this beautiful stucco over brick home offers generous space and distinctive character. Decorative wrought-iron railings complement tall French-style casement windows on the first floor, while an oval œil-de-bœuf (bull’s-eye) window with an ornamental surround draws the eye upward, highlighting the home’s stately facade. Inside, five (5) spacious bedrooms, three (3) fireplaces, an updated kitchen and butler’s pantry, and a third-floor flex room offer versatility and comfort. Charming concealed panel doors, known as “jib doors,” blend seamlessly into the decorative millwork in the dining room and hallway, while French doors and built-ins flank the two first-floor fireplaces. Brass fixtures, decorative trim, and picture molding add elegant finishing touches throughout these spaces. Outdoor amenities include a private, covered rear porch, a garden, a rear balcony, and a three-car garage. The seller is offering an exterior paint concession, allowing the buyer to refresh the existing color or select a new palette, subject to historic district requirements and approval. View illustrative color combinations in the listing photos and the color system chart in the attached documents. This home also qualifies for the NEZ-H property tax abatement for eligible owner-occupants. Schedule your tour today!

How it compares in Detroit
Over the last 90 days, 1,214 homes sold in Detroit for a median of $99,950, about $71 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 29 days. This home is listed at $775,000, or $97 per square foot, 37% above the city median, and has been on the market 9 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Detroit sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $8,446 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $5,794 to $25,120 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 64.18 mills for Detroit City and Detroit 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.
