512 Washington Road, Grosse Pointe, MI 48230

About this property

Set on a rare 120x152 lot in the heart of Grosse Pointe, 512 Washington is the kind of home that stops people in their tracks. An iconic Colonial with commanding curb appeal, timeless architecture, and over 5,000 square feet of living space, this is a property that effortlessly blends historic character with bold personality and modern functionality. Beyond the stately façade, a dramatic three-story turning staircase anchors the home like a work of art, while a marble foyer welcomes guests with the kind of grand first impression rarely found today. Rich hardwood floors, tall ceilings, oversized windows, and unforgettable design moments create a home that feels both elegant and deeply livable. The formal living room and dining room offer classic entertaining spaces, while the spacious family room brings warmth and comfort for everyday living. One of the home’s most memorable features is the whimsical built-in hallway wrapped in custom shelving and designer lighting, feeling more like a private library pulled from the pages of a luxury design magazine than a simple transition space. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and an oversized eating area flooded with natural light from the expansive wall of glass overlooking the backyard. Sliding doors lead to a covered patio and an oversized yard for Grosse Pointe, creating the perfect backdrop for summer entertaining, family gatherings, or quiet evenings at home. A first-floor full bath and laundry area add convenience rarely found in homes of this era. The second level offers four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a grand primary suite complete with a large bedroom, dressing room, office or sunroom space, and ensuite bath. The third floor adds even more flexibility with two additional bedrooms and a full bath ideal for guests, teenagers, live-in help, or additional work-from-home space. Above the oversized three-car garage sits a carriage house that truly sets this property apart. Offering two bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious family room, it creates endless opportunities for a private guest suite, in-law quarters, creative studio, executive home office, or the ultimate teenager retreat. Bold, memorable, and architecturally striking, 512 Washington is not a cookie-cutter home. It is a legacy property filled with character, scale, and soul, all within close proximity to schools, parks, and The Village.
