This magnificent architectural gem is ready for the touch of a new generation! Loved by the family for over 60 years, the home has many distinct features of the era. A cozy reading room off the foyer with original plaster pillar leads to the enormous living room offering arched ceilings, intricate plaster moldings, large sunny windows, and a natural fireplace. Hardwood floors are believed to be beneath the carpeting throughout the home. Adjacent to the living room, a spacious formal dining room accommodates your entertaining needs. In the kitchen you'll find pecan wood cabinets with unique vintage hardware and all built-in appliances. Adorable half bath off the kitchen. Solid wrought iron railings lead upstairs to the ample sized bedrooms that are all charming with the dormered walls, and the 3rd bedroom has a lovely arched window. The large primary bedroom boasts 2 closets, one cedar lined. The main bath is freshly painted, and has original tile in great condition. With minor renovation, the basement could become a super recreation or movie room! Other updates and amenities include a new roof and chimney re-build, 2021, Boiler, 2016, copper plumbing, newer cement driveway leading to the side entry garage, new front entry door, AND who doesn't love a screened porch? Original doors and hardware throughout, as well as some lighting fixtures. The nearly half acre lot is wooded and private. This is a rare opportunity to take one of Lathrup Village's first amazing homes and revitalize to its splendor of yesteryear!
