Welcome to 18925 Birchcrest Drive, an exquisite Tudor Revival in Detroit’s historic University District. Built in 1929, this architectural gem is rich in original character and thoughtfully updated for modern living. Step through the leaded glass entry and into a grand living space where hand-crafted moldings, hardwood floors, and a stately limestone fireplace set the tone. The dining room and library continue the story, featuring ornate craftsmanship and built-in leaded glass bookshelves. Both bathrooms boast original fixtures and coveted Pewabic tile, including a stunning stained and leaded glass window in the second-floor bath. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2024), solar panels (2021), and Weathergard windows (2021). Mitsubishi cooling/heating units in 3 spaces (living room, breakfast nook, and master bedroom) provide cooling in the summer and additional heat in winter. Outside, enjoy a beautifully landscaped yard, brick two-car garage, and spacious backyard patio, perfect for entertaining. The unfinished basement offers unlimited potential, whether you envision a studio, wine cellar, or additional living space. Located on a tree-lined block with 24/7 neighborhood patrol, snow removal, and an active garden club, you’ll love being just minutes from the Avenue of Fashion, Detroit Golf Club, and University of Detroit Mercy. With quick access to Woodward Avenue and major thoroughfares, you're minutes away from downtown and the communities along the Woodward corridor. Homes with this level of craftsmanship and originality rarely become available—schedule your tour today.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
