2431 Parker St, Detroit, MI 48214

2431 Parker is a charming urban cottage that will make you feel like you’re in a different time and place—even though you’re only a short walk from the bustling restaurant scene of West Village (Marrow, Sister Pie, Two Birds), a 5-minute bike ride from Belle Isle and the riverwalk, and a 10-minute drive from downtown. A meticulous renovation has preserved the old-world character of the house, while modern luxuries and conveniences have been thoughtfully installed throughout. On the first floor, the elegant woodwork, doors, hardware, and floors have been restored to their original warmth and beauty. Large windows bathe the living and dining rooms in natural light. A smartly designed kitchen with new appliances and custom cabinetry, two bedrooms, and a full bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, a large, comfortable living/family/office area and an extra-large primary bedroom have vaulted ceilings and are filled with natural light from skylights. The primary suite also includes a private bathroom and two oversize closets. The laundry area is also conveniently located on the second floor. Behind the house, a structure that might once have been a two-car garage is waiting to be renovated into a studio, maker space, or perhaps even a garage once again. ---
