Rare opportunity—homes in coveted Indian Village seldom hit the market. Designed by Marcus R. Burrowes in 1910 for Paul R. Gray businessman in the candy & automotive industries. An article from a 1910 edition of the Detroit Free Press suggests this home cost $12,000 to build. Flash forward over 100 years, 1710 Seminole is now available for today's purchaser. Brick & stucco materials wrap the homes exterior. Enter through the main entrance off Saint Paul & upon entry a sweeping arched hallway runs the full width of the home, seamlessly connecting the east & west wings w/ timeless architectural elegance & plaster details. Overlooking Seminole St the spacious living room offers multiple seating areas, anchored by a striking fireplace & bathed in natural light from an abundance of windows. Refinished hardwood floors add warmth, while a charming tiled sunroom just off the main space provides a serene retreat filled w/ sunshine. A cozy, atmospheric library invites quiet, featuring its own fireplace & stunning glass-front built-in bookshelves. The generous dining room is centered beneath elegant pendant lighting, offering a perfect space for gatherings. Original windowed doors open directly to the backyard’s wood deck, seamlessly blending indoor & outdoor living. With a generous footprint & some recent updates, the kitchen offers great potential for further customization & transformation. The second level has 5 bedrooms, including 3 w/ private en suite bathrooms. Each bath showcases timeless design elements: classic penny tile flooring & crisp white subway tile walls, blending vintage charm w/ enduring style. Home has a portion of the basement that could be finished off as a media room, home speakeasy, workout room. The 3rd floor is full height & currently unfinished - offering an additional 1,000 of potential living space.
