Built in 1933 for Emily Vernor of Vernors fame, this brick Tudor is completely done, and done right. 1259 Grayton sits steps from Maire and the Village, yet stays tucked away on a quiet street with virtually no through traffic. The home's history has been restored, not replaced. The… Read More original oak floors have been refinished, and the original Detroit doors were taken off their hinges, refinished, and rehung with reproduction hardware. Add exposed beams, iron accents, and a wood-burning stone fireplace with a gas starter, and you get the warmth and character new construction can't recreate. The fully remodeled large eat-in kitchen has all KitchenAid appliances, a big center island with seating, and open white oak shelving. It opens to the dining room beneath an exposed white oak beam, so whoever's cooking is never cut off from the table. French doors lead to the family room at the back, with a vaulted shiplap ceiling, European oak flooring, a painted brick wall, and a door straight out to the patio. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary with a private balcony over the yard and a full bath finished this year. All three baths have been renovated: a first-floor half bath and two full baths upstairs. The finished basement adds a shiplap rec room that works as a media room, office, or play space, along with laundry and storage. Out back, cedar privacy fencing and arborvitaes wrap the lawn and an exposed aggregate patio with room for the grill, the fire pit, and everyone you'd want around it. A two-car garage sits at the end of the concrete drive. Roof, furnace, central air, windows (casements on the first floor), exterior doors, porch, concrete drive, aggregate patio, landscaping, and garage with a new slab have all been replaced. A modern home inside a historic shell. Read Less
