Property Description
Nestled in Detroit’s prestigious Art Center Historic District, 255 E. Ferry Street offers an exceptional opportunity to restore a turn-of-the-century masterpiece boasting over 3,200 square feet of grand living space across three levels (6,072 total SF including the basement and loft). Situated on an unusually deep 0.26-acre lot featuring a private driveway, generous yard space, and carriage house potential, this historic gem comes with an invaluable head start: complete architectural, construction, and landscape plans that are already Historic District Commission (HDC) approved and ready for city permits.

Steps from the QLine, Detroit Institute of Arts, College for Creative Studies, and vibrant cultural landmarks, this rare property bypasses months of design and approval delays—allowing you to step right into construction and bring a piece of Detroit's rich history back to life. Architect plans for design and exterior landscaping can be supplied upon request with accepted offer. Property has no power- showings during daylight only. Disclosure for entry to. be signed before entry. Floorplans in downloadable docs
