Listing Description
Welcome to 17566 Fairfield ST, Detroit, MI — where 1935 craftsmanship meets modern-day swagger in the heart of the University District!This single-family stunner isn't just a house — it's the house. Nearly a century of character, and she's aged like fine wine. Step inside and try not to fall in love (we dare you). The living room hits you right away with a show-stopping fireplace that practically begs you to host game nights, wine evenings, or just bask in your own excellent taste. And that crown molding? It's giving elegance on every wall — because basic ceilings simply weren't an option here. The kitchen is where things really get serious. We're talking sleek stone countertops, crisp shaker cabinets, and a backsplash that ties everything together like a chef's kiss. The peninsula is perfect for Saturday morning pancakes, homework station duty, or pretending you're hosting your own cooking show. More crown molding in here too — because why stop when you're winning? Retreat to the primary bedroom complete with its own ensuite bathroom — your personal spa-adjacent hideaway. Crown molding? Obviously. Privacy? Absolutely. Vibes? Immaculate. With four bedrooms total, there's room for the whole crew — family, guests, home office, you name it. Basement bar ready for everything from Super Bowl parties to speakeasy-themed Friday nights. Your friends are already jealous, and they haven't even seen it yet.This is University District living at its finest — timeless charm, modern comfort, and a whole lot of personality.
