Equal parts sanctuary and entertaining destination, it offers multiple areas for dining, lounging, and gathering beneath the skyline. Inside, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views stretching across downtown Detroit to Canada, filling the home with natural light by day and skyline views after dark.Originally designed by acclaimed Detroit architect Steve Flum, the residence is defined by exceptional craftsmanship. The 2022 custom kitchen features handcrafted cabinetry, illuminated vitrines, a sculptural island, premium appliances, and refined finishes, designed for everyday living and entertaining.

Three additional ensuite bedrooms provide exceptional accommodations for family and guests.Additional highlights include elevator access, motorized window shades, an integrated sound system, and two dedicated parking spaces within a secure gated lot.Just two blocks from Detroit's award-winning RiverWalk and moments from Belle Isle, the Detroit Yacht Club, downtown, acclaimed restaurants, sports venues, and cultural attractions, this is a residence unlike any other in Detroit, where authentic loft architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and one of the city's most remarkable rooftop terraces come together in a singular
