412 Lakeshore is a mid-century modern set on a half-acre with views to Lake St. Clair beyond the rear gardens. The architecture is restrained: stone walls anchor the entry sequence, the principal living spaces open through full-height glazing to a covered patio, and the rear elevation reads as a single continuous gesture toward the water.
Built in 1959 and commissioned by an executive of one of Detroit’s mid-century industrial firms, the home has been held by only two families. The current owner has spent more than a decade on careful restoration: original wood detailing preserved throughout, mechanical systems brought current, kitchen and primary suite reworked in keeping with the home’s design language.
Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, 3,940 square feet. Detached two-car garage. Lake views from the principal rooms.
Showings by appointment with Marcus Lamar.

A modernist statement house on a wooded lot in Sherwood Forest. Wood, limestone, and stone meet on a paver-set drive that frames the entry sequence. Updated mechanicals throughout; original architectural detailing intact. Best viewed at dusk, when the clerestory glow defines the elevation.
A mid-century ranch on a quiet Birmingham block, set into a gentle slope with a walkout lower level and clerestory windows running the length of the main floor. Interior renovation completed 2020 with original wood detailing preserved throughout.
