About this home
One of Detroit's oldest surviving brick homes, this extraordinary three-story 1856 Federal-style detached townhouse stands in the heart of Corktown, Detroit's oldest neighborhood. Built prior to the Civil War by Ireland-born mason William Murphy, this rare residence reflects the timeless Federal-style architecture more commonly associated with historic East Coast cities such as Philadelphia and Boston. Rich in Detroit history, the home is also believed to have housed Mexican immigrant railroad workers during the Great Depression, including one resident thought to have inspired a figure in Diego Rivera's famed Detroit Industry Murals. Now undergoing an extensive renovation, the home is being thoughtfully restored to preserve its historic character while delivering the comfort and reliability of modern living. Original elements including exposed brick, select wood beams, and a mahogany stair railing remain, while major systems are being replaced and updated throughout. The main level offers a spacious living room with fireplace, formal dining room, kitchen with pantry, and powder room. The second floor includes three bedrooms, a full bath, and laundry. The third floor has been reimagined as a potential primary suite with dormer windows, added natural light, full bath, dressing area, and additional storage. Depending on timing, buyers may have the opportunity to personalize select finish materials and design details prior to completion. Located just blocks from Michigan Central Station and surrounded by continued investment and development, this is a rare opportunity to own a defining piece of Detroit history, reimagined for today....
