MLS # 20251035493 (Realcomp)

Detroit’s iconic 1300 Lafayette East Cooperative, is one of the city’s most celebrated examples of International Style modernism. Residence #2211 is a rarely available combined floor plan, merging a one-bedroom and studio into a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath home. Thoughtfully redesigned with custom high-end finishes, the residence pairs mid-century sophistication with modern comfort. The open living and dining areas are defined by expansive, near floor-to-ceiling picture windows that frame sweeping views of Detroit’s skyline and the green expanse of Lafayette Park. A full wall of custom built-in bookcases adds both function and character, creating the perfect showcase for books, art, and personal collections while reinforcing the home’s sense of scale and design. The chef-inspired kitchen features quartz countertops, sleek cabinetry with integrated storage, and a GE Profile stainless steel suite including a European-size, multi-compartment refrigerator designed to maximize space, an induction cooktop, convection wall oven, and microwave with built-in venting and sensor cooking technology. The primary suite offers generous proportions with ample storage, walk-in closet/dressing room, while each bath is finished with the original clean, modern lines. The studio wing sets this home apart—an adaptable space ideal for a live/work setup, art or music studio, or even separate sleeping quarters for couples seeking privacy and flexibility. Residents enjoy a full-service lifestyle with 24-hour staffed entry and concierge, two outdoor heated pools, a fitness center, tennis courts, renovated community rooms, and secure indoor parking. The monthly HOA includes property taxes, heat, A/C, water, maintenance, and reserves, with a portion tax-deductible. In the center of it all, Downtown Detroit, the Riverwalk, Eastern Market, Dequindre Cut, and major highways, this home offers unmatched access to parks, cycling and walking trails, shopping, groceries, and the city’s cultural hubs.
