Property Description
Some homes make an impression. This one gives you something to remember in every room. Designed by Gustav Steffens in 1928, 852 Whittier pairs remarkable architecture with the warmth and livability of a thoughtfully maintained Grosse Pointe home. Six bedrooms, three full baths, two half baths and over 4,600 square feet across three stories offer generous space for everyday living and memorable gatherings. The introduction is unforgettable: a terracotta walkway, raised terrace and foyer showcasing stunning mermaid-pattern Pewabic tile. Beyond it, ornate plaster moldings, glazed medallions and carved woodwork reflect the craftsmanship of another era. Beautiful leaded-glass windows draw abundant sunlight throughout the home, illuminating refinished hardwood floors and freshly painted interiors. The original details give each room its personality; the natural light brings it all to life. The living room’s French limestone fireplace and original stained glass create an inviting setting for conversation and evenings by the fire. French, pocket and accordion doors allow the principal rooms to flow together for entertaining or close for quieter moments. The adjoining library and alcove offer space to settle in with a book or enjoy the afternoon light. The formal dining room, framed by a bay window overlooking the garden, is ready for holiday traditions and dinners that linger long after dessert. The spacious eat-in kitchen features new Thermador appliances, an alcove dining area and room for cooking and conversation without crowding the cook. A second staircase adds convenience, while a new porch and tiled terraces offer places to enjoy morning coffee or an evening outdoors. The primary bedroom provides a quiet retreat, with the same welcoming character that runs throughout the home. Original bathrooms preserve an important part of its 1928 appeal, complementing the architectural details rather than interrupting them. Six bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, work-from-home space and changing needs. A lower-level recreation room, workshop and half bath add practical space. Well-maintained mechanicals, a newer aggregate driveway, wrought iron fencing and a three-car garage with loft storage complete the property. Nearby Lake St. Clair and two Grosse Pointe parks put playgrounds, theaters, pools, a clubhouse, gym and marina close to home. For buyers drawn to historic architecture, original craftsmanship and sun-filled living spaces, 852 Whittier offers character you can see and a home you can truly enjoy.
