This exquisite 1844 Gothic Revival home, located on a quiet street in Ypsilanti's Historic District, is a rare architectural treasure. A striking example of Carpenter Gothic design, the home features intricate detailing, large windows with pointed arches, and porches adorned with ornamental trim that echoes the Gothic aesthetic. Set in a neighborhood rich with historic landmarks and architectural charm, this residence blends 19th-century elegance with carefully considered modern updates. The original entry opens to a gracious foyer with a gently curving staircase, setting the tone for the home's welcoming yet refined interior. The main floor includes a parlor centered around a large bay window and decorative fireplace, a cozy sitting room with built-in library shelves, and a formal dining room that opens to two charming porches. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with professional-grade appliances while maintaining harmony with the home's character. A bedroom with a half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, a graceful staircase leads to three bedrooms and a full bath. The primary suite is entered through a library illuminated by a Gothic window and adorned with an intricate frieze. A dramatic fleur-de-lis embellishment crafted by the current owner serves as a personal homage to the Gothic style and adds a unique layer of artistry. The garden is a true sanctuary, best enjoyed from the screened porch overlooking a landscape of roses, rhododendrons, azaleas, lilies, irises, and the occasional forget-me-not. A bubbling fountain provides a serene backdrop, and winding paths invite quiet strolls or celebratory gatherings. The 2½-car garage is a renovated carriage house that adds both function and charm. Lovingly preserved and sensitively updated, this landmark property has been nurtured into the 21st century and now awaits its next steward to carry its legacy forward.
