Southfield stone house includes vintage interior, idyllic yard

Today we’re venturing outside the city proper and into Southfield, where we’re enamored with this incredible 1925 stone house. This charming house is hidden from the road, and we’re pretty sure it’s full of secrets. The listing claims it could have been the home of an auto executive’s mistress. Hmmm. It’s listing for $235,000.

Some may want to go in and update it, but we’re loving it in its current state. The living rooms has great wood beams and a greenhouse-like sun room is flooded with light. What is up with all these mirrors? Hardwood floors line many of the rooms, while beautiful tiling fills the foyer and solarium. Big archways, original doors, and built-ins add character throughout the home.

Out back, a large pool awaits in a lush backyard. This is a special house. It has three bedrooms, two baths, and an attached garage. It’s listed through Deborah Smith at Keller Williams.
