Sherwood Forest charmer with spiral staircase asks $490K

Sometimes we see a house and we can tell which Detroit neighborhood it’s in just by looking at it. Sherwood Forest has homes that are often bigger than its neighboring University District, but not quite as big as nearby Palmer Woods. They also sit on big plots of land and have unique interior features. This new listing has a spacious basement, a spiral staircase that goes from the basement to the second floor, wide open rooms, and soaring wood beams. It’s listing for $490,000.

This 4,500-square-foot house has five bedrooms, three full and two half baths with so many different kinds of tiling, slate flooring, leaded glass windows, a basement that looks like a secret hideaway, and an open third floor. Outside, find an attached garage in the front and a fenced yard in the back. It’s located near Ferndale and the shops along Livernois. It’s listed through Lauren Rivers at Rivers Realty Group.
