From the moment that you pass between the stone pillars of this landmark Grosse Ile property, you know that you have arrived somewhere special. The curved brick paver driveway leads you across the picturesque 3 acre lot to this majestic, historic home. This one of a kind home estate stands proud far from the road providing exceptional privacy and tranquility. Upon entering the nearly 10,000 square architectural gem, you are greeted with luxurious Italian marble flooring, breathtaking millwork, and a grand foyer beckoning you to the spectacular sun porch on the east side of the home for amazing views of the Detroit River, Canada, the Detroit City Skyline, and the Grosse Ile lighthouse. Originally designed and custom built for Charles Fisher of the Fisher Body Company of Detroit by the notable architecture firm Smith, Hinchman, and Grylls, you will appreciate the grandeur and fine architectural moments throughout this home. Soaring 12 foot ceilings feature various types of ornamentation including plaster medallions and astounding crown moulding. Meticulous design elements like cherubs, flora and fauna are coupled with robust materials providing a truly special living and entertaining experience. The large kitchen features a center island, wall oven, cooktop, a breakfast nook with built-ins, and full butler's pantry with a wet bar. Two formal powder rooms, a third half bathroom on the main floor is well suited for hosting guests. A paneled library with Jack and Jill entry offers privacy, storage with built-in bookcases, and functions well as an office. The formal dining room with a hand carved, wood fireplace is an expansive space with grand views of the Detroit River as you dine and entertain guests. The majestic formal living room also has views of the river, an exceptional carved carrara marble fireplace surround with egg and dart details and abundant room for furnishings and a Steinway baby grand piano. Moody paneled walls and coffered ceilings in the Florida room add warmth to the space surrounded by windows that flood the space with natural light. This room functions well as a family room with ample seating space, a fireplace, and a bronze chandelier that is simply a work of art. Journey upstairs to find 7 bedrooms, 6 full baths, and 3 additional half baths. Several bedrooms have their own, private, sunporch for enjoying the gorgeous natural scenery. The primary bedroom is massive with an adjoining dressing room, 2 separate full tiled bathrooms, and custom walk-in closets with beautiful built-in wardrobes. An enormous attic allows for plenty of storage space. The basement is equally impressive with terrazzo flooring, workshop space, a huge laundry room that doubles as a workout room, a full sized, walk-in vault that doubles as wine storage, and a Bilco door entry providing easy access for transporting large items. Outside, marvel at over 200 feet of river frontage for docking, enjoying water sports, fishing, and witnessing glorious sunrises, perfect for entertaining and hosting events. An illuminated brick paver path leads to a paver patio for outdoor enjoyment. A 6 car garage with carriage doors, attic for storage space, electric service, and a half bathroom round out this opulent property. This home is a time capsule of precision and craftsmanship that you must experience to appreciate. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make it yours. All of this and it is situated just over one mile to the toll bridge a half an hour to downtown Detroit. Agent is related to the seller. Pre-Approval required prior to showing.

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.
