Capolavoro Gotico Veneziano Senza Tempo Con Lusso Moderno

Celebrating 150 years of Detroit history, the Ransom Gillis House remains one of the city’s most recognizable and architecturally significant residences. Built in 1876 for prominent Detroit merchant Ransom Gillis and designed by Henry T. Brush with George D. Mason, this extraordinary Venetian Gothic landmark has survived, evolved, and ultimately become a symbol of the remarkable transformation of Brush Park. Today, the historic front residence of the Ransom Gillis House is offered for sale, encompassing the signature facade and turret most closely associated with this celebrated Detroit landmark. After decades of vacancy, the house underwent an extensive rehabilitation led by Bedrock in 2015 and documented nationally on Home and Garden Television. Its history is also intertwined with another Detroit institution: Pewabic, whose founders operated an early pottery studio on the property and later returned to create custom tile during the rehabilitation. Inside, period-inspired craftsmanship meets modern living through custom cabinetry, marble surfaces, brass hardware, rich millwork, stainless steel appliances, and thoughtfully considered architectural details. The finished garden level expands the home with a bar and entertaining space, office, fitness area, and substantial storage. The primary suite offers a private retreat, while the landscaped and fenced outdoor space creates an unexpected sense of privacy in the heart of the city. Designed equally for intimate evenings and memorable entertaining, this is a residence with a presence and provenance that cannot be replicated. Outside its doors, Brush Park tells its own story of Detroit’s evolution, where restored 19th-century homes now stand alongside striking modern condominiums and contemporary architecture, moments from Downtown, Midtown, Eastern Market, the stadium and entertainment district, and the city’s most celebrated restaurants and cultural destinations. Build a treasure chest of memories for years to come!
