MLS # 20261026622 (Realcomp)

Elegantly reimagined in the heart of Morningside, 5040 Balfour delivers a rare combination of historic Detroit craftsmanship and fully rebuilt modern luxury. This 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom brick Tudor-inspired residence has been taken to the studs and rebuilt with the finishes today's discerning buyer expects: ALL-NEW electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, drywall, and insulation — paired with refinished original hardwood floors that anchor the home in its timeless character. The main level opens to a sun-lit living room with decorative fireplace, flows through a dramatic dining area beneath a sculptural modern chandelier, and delivers you into a showpiece chef's kitchen featuring two-tone shaker cabinetry, premium quartz countertops, subway-tile backsplash, and matte black designer hardware. The primary suite is a true retreat — shiplap accents, a working gas fireplace, and a spa-style marble bath with glass walk-in shower, soaking tub, and floating wood-grain vanity. Two additional fully-marbled bathrooms serve five more bedrooms appointed with dark hardwoods, plush carpet, and abundant natural light. Expansive full basement with freshly poured epoxy floors, elevated rear entertaining deck, fully fenced yard with new wood privacy fencing, and detached 2-car garage. Walking distance to Balduck Park and minutes to Grosse Pointe's dining, lakefront, and top-rated schools. Turn-key, move-in ready, and priced to reward the buyer who recognizes value where quality meets location.
