Property Description
Highest & Best Offers Due Monday, August 18, 2025 at 5pm. 18675 Bretton Dr., located in Detroit's Rosedale Park, a National Historic District. This is an extremely rare opportunity for the architecture lover with a designer's eye. Step inside this 1930s Rosedale Park Tudor and imagine the possibilities. With over 3,000 sqft of living space on a generous 8,400 sqft (60 X 140) lot, this stately brick home has already been professionally framed and awaits your vision to bring it back to life. It's the perfect stage for a whole-home renovation worthy of an HGTV reveal—blending the craftsmanship of the past with the comfort and style of today. Rich with original character, the home features ornate leaded glass windows complete with their original storms, classic brickwork, period wood detailing, and two enclosed sunrooms—one upstairs and one down. Two fireplaces (one in the living room, one in the terrazzo-floored basement rec room) add warmth and charm, while much of the original tile has been lovingly preserved. Many original fixtures have been carefully stored in the garage, ready to be reinstalled in your finished masterpiece. Picture restoring these elements alongside sleek, modern finishes for that coveted vintage-modern aesthetic—think Shinola's timeless Detroit style in residential form. Outdoors, a beautifully designed slate hardscape patio and lush landscape, curated by a master gardener, provide the perfect backdrop for entertaining or simply enjoying the serenity of the tree-lined street. The property also includes a two-car garage, a gracious façade, and a location in a nationally recognized historic district—ensuring your investment in quality design will be protected for years to come. Whether you're a preservation purist, an investor with a flair for statement homes, or a homeowner ready to craft a one-of-a-kind space, this property offers a rare opportunity to honor Detroit's architectural heritage while making it entirely your own.
