2745 Iroquois is a mid-century home set among the historic Tudors and Georgians of Indian Village — an architectural anomaly in one of Detroit’s oldest neighborhoods, and one of the reasons buyers seek it out. Brick and wood meet at dramatic roof angles, and the entry is recessed within a courtyard that mediates the transition from street to interior.
The home was commissioned in 1961 by a family that wanted a contemporary residence on a historic block, and the design language was kept restrained enough to read as a respectful neighbor rather than a disruption. The garden and rear patio were renovated in 2022, and the interior has been carefully updated across the last decade without compromising the home’s character.
Four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, 3,720 square feet. Detached two-car garage. Federal historic district designation despite the architectural style.
Showings by appointment with Elena Park.
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.
Mid-century modern on a half-acre with lake views beyond the rear gardens. Stone walls anchor the entry; the rear opens through full-height glazing to a covered patio and garden. Original to the architect, carefully restored over a decade by its second owner.
