About this home
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Detroit architectural history. Built in 1928 and featured in a 1929 edition of the Detroit Free Press, this distinctive Tudor Revival was one of the area’s original showcase homes. Nearly a century later, it continues to stand apart with approximately 2,600 square feet of above-grade living space, a generous double lot, and the craftsmanship and character that make historic Detroit homes so special. Inside, original hardwood floors, handcrafted moldings, architectural details, and a warm fireplace preserve the home’s period character, while an updated kitchen with granite countertops and renovated baths provide modern convenience. Four bedrooms, spacious living and dining areas, a den, theater/media space, and additional recreation areas offer exceptional flexibility for everyday living, working from home, and entertaining. Outside, the expansive double lot provides an impressive amount of outdoor space, complemented by a two-car garage. This is more than a typical 48239 home. It is an opportunity to own a substantial Tudor offering history, architectural presence, modern updates, generous living space, and room to entertain—inside and out. Seller will consider buyer closing-cost or interest-rate buydown assistance with an acceptable offer.

How it compares in Redford
Over the last 90 days, 170 homes sold in Redford for a median of $180,000, about $115 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 17 days. This home is listed at $279,900, or $100 per square foot, 13% below the city median, and has been on the market 101 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Redford sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $6,476 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $2,356 to $9,072 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.
