Some homes simply have a story to tell, and 280 Vincennes Place is one of them. Designed by celebrated architect Wallace Frost, with extraordinary gardens by internationally renowned landscape architect Thomas Dolliver Church, this historically significant Grosse Pointe Farms home is a rare meeting of architecture, landscape and gracious living.

A separate den with its own fireplace offers a comfortable place to unwind, while the exceptionally large kitchen provides generous workspace, abundant storage and plenty of room for casual dining. Then there is the screened porch.
