Property details

About 19938 Renfrew Rd

Nestled among tree-lined streets at Detroit’s northern edge lies the Greenacres Neighborhood. Steeped in history and neighboring the revitalized Avenue of Fashion along Livernois, Greenacres offers a diverse mix of home styles and welcoming residents. The Greenacres Woodward Civic Association proudly shares, *“Diversity informs and enriches daily life here. We are an inclusive, welcoming community where neighbors know each other by name.”* While much of the neighborhood showcases Colonial Revival homes, 19938 Renfrew, built in 1930, stands out with its Romanesque Revival design — a style popular in the late 1800s. The solid brick home features stone accents and a striking round turret that commands your attention. Inside, a rich foyer welcomes you, highlighted by a custom stained-glass piece of art that will remain with the home. The spacious living room, with natural fireplace, built-in bookcases, and large windows, offers warmth and charm. Virtually staged photos demonstrate its potential. The formal dining room easily accommodates gatherings, while the updated kitchen features wood shaker cabinets, stone countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Stretching across the rear of the home is a versatile family room, perfect for your unique needs. A charming half bath with original character sits just off the kitchen. Upstairs, find three generous bedrooms, a full bath, a primary suite with four large built-in closets, and a turreted ensuite bathroom. A small shower repair is needed, with a Seller-offered credit available. Discover a hidden staircase leading to the third-floor fifth bedroom and a huge attic, ready for finishing. The basement includes a laundry area, finished space, storage, and updated mechanical systems. While not every corner is brand new, the Seller has prioritized the home’s essential systems and structure such as the kitchen, electrical panel, windows, boiler and more. A full list of updates is available onsite. Welcome Home Neighbor!
