Welcome to the ultimate blend of luxury, history, and design. This architectural landmark has been featured in Dwell Magazine and used in national commercial productions—offering a stay that feels closer to a private design museum than a typical home.
Inside, the interiors remain remarkably intact, showcasing iconic mid-century pieces including a Noguchi table, LC4 chaise lounge, Tulip chairs, and other original classics.
Every summer, the Rocket Mortgage Classic unfolds just beyond the backyard—giving you a front-row seat to one of Detroit’s premier events.
