About this home
Some homes reference the mid century era, and others have simply never left it. Designed and built by Weinberger in 1962, the D'Agostini House is an exceptional example of Detroit-area mid-century design, set along the quiet waters of a private, non-motorized lake in Shelby Township. Built in 1962 for its original owners, the home remained with the same family for more than six decades. The original building contract called for construction to begin around May 1, 1962, with the home scheduled to be finished by September 1, 1962, at a contract price of $29,400. Located in Starlite Meadows, developed by Morstan Development Co., the home reflects the optimism and architectural experimentation that defined suburban Detroit in the postwar era. Its low horizontal profile, broad sheltering overhangs, strong connection between indoors and out, and emphasis on comfortable, informal living echo the ideas that shaped American residential architecture in the years following Frank Lloyd Wright. More than six decades later, the original vision remains remarkably intact. A step-down living room, anchored by a fireplace and featuring original velvet wallpaper, creates a space that feels wonderfully removed from anything being built today. Original cabinetry, built-ins, lighting, hardware and fireplaces remain throughout, joined by beautifully preserved tile bathrooms and playful starburst motifs appearing in unexpected places- from closet hardware to details incorporated into the garage. Original blueprints further document the home and its design. Rather than functioning as a museum piece, however, the house is remarkably comfortable. Generously proportioned rooms flow easily from one to the next, with multiple living spaces designed for gathering and everyday life. The family room turns toward the lake, while the finished walkout lower level extends the home with additional space and a direct connection outdoors. Multiple patios create different places to entertain, dine or simply settle in beside the water. Outside, the architecture is equally compelling. Deep roof overhangs provide shade while reinforcing the home’s unmistakable low-slung silhouette. Brick, glass, warm interior materials and landscape work together as the best mid-century homes were intended to. And while Lorin Drive feels tucked away, its Shelby Township location offers an unusual combination of privacy and convenience. Stony Creek Metropark, miles of hiking and biking trails, local parks and recreation are nearby, along with the shopping, dining and everyday conveniences of the greater Shelby Township and Hall Road corridors- all within the broader Detroit metropolitan area. For admirers of mid century architecture, Detroit design history, or simply homes with character that cannot be replicated, the D'Agostini House offers something increasingly rare: an original house that has survived with its personality intact....
