Property Description
Opportunity knocks in Palmer Woods. Offered for the first time in decades, this stately midcentury brick Colonial home at 19262 Strathcona Drive is a preserved original awaiting its next chapter. The classic brick facade, twin bay windows, and dentil detailing make a strong first impression from the curb. Inside, a grand curved staircase anchors the tiled foyer and sets the tone for generous formal rooms filled with natural light. The paneled library features a marble fireplace and built-in shelving and cabinetry, ideal as a den, office, or media room. The living room stretches across the front of the home with oversized windows on two exposures, and the eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a breakfast peninsula, and room to create the kitchen you have always wanted. Upstairs, the bedrooms are large and bright, and the rare vintage pink tiled bath captures the character of the era. A paneled family room and an attached two-car garage add everyday comfort and convenience. Set along a mature, tree-lined street, the layout is generous, the bones are strong, and the potential is very real. Bring your vision, update the home to your own standards, and create just the home you want. Palmer Woods is one of Detroit's most treasured historic neighborhoods, a wooded enclave of architecturally significant homes on quiet, winding streets just west of Woodward. Residents enjoy private security patrols and road snow removal through the special assessment district. Enjoy neighborhood gatherings, including block club parties, concerts, estate sales, home tours, and planting projects, plus informal get-togethers for bike rides, walks, gardening, and discussion groups. The location is convenient to Downtown Detroit, Ferndale, Birmingham, Palmer Park, the Detroit Golf Club, and the Livernois Avenue of Fashion commercial district. NEZ-H property tax abatement eligible.
