Craftsman charmer in Indian Village asks $399K

Because of restrictions placed on selling during the coronavirus pandemic, not many homes are hitting the market in Detroit these days. But one in Indian Village that recently listed is a real charmer.

The craftsman cottage on Seminole Street was designed in 1913 by active local firm Varney & Winter. The brick and stucco exterior has some gorgeous green-painted eaves above the porch and a dormer window with cedar shake.

The craftsman elements really come alive in the 2,376-square-foot, five-bedroom interior. For example, wood enriches every facet of the living room: the coffered ceiling, trim, floors, fireplace mantel, and built-in shelves. The dining room has even more batten and crown molding. And the sunroom has a tile floor with decorative inlay tiles.

There’s also a finished third floor, detached two-car garage, and a sizable yard with a little stone patio.

Other Indian Village homes may be bigger or more opulent, but few are so delightful. 2444 Seminole Street is listed for $399,000 with Erica Collica of Max Broock Realtors.
