About this home

6,072 total square feet including the basement and loft. The home sits on a deep 0.26-acre lot with a private driveway, generous yard and potential for a carriage house. Much of the groundwork for its next chapter is already complete. The property includes architectural, construction and landscape plans that have been approved by the Historic District Commission (HDC) and are ready to move forward to city permitting, giving the next owner a significant head start on the restoration process. Inside, the expansive footprint retains the proportions and character of its era while offering an expanded layout with plenty of possibilities. A basement with a private exterior entrance provides additional flexibility for a potential guest suite, separate living space or income-producing use. Located near the Detroit Institute of Arts, College for Creative Studies, QLINE and some of the city’s most notable cultural destinations, 255 E. Ferry is an opportunity to thoughtfully bring a piece of Detroit history back to life. Architectural and exterior landscape plans can be provided upon request with an accepted offer. The property currently has no power, so showings are limited to daylight hours. A disclosure for entry must be signed prior to entering the property. Floor plans are available in the downloadable documents.
