Property Description
Some homes simply have a story to tell, and 280 Vincennes Place is one of them. Designed by celebrated architect Wallace Frost, with extraordinary gardens by internationally renowned landscape architect Thomas Dolliver Church, this historically significant Grosse Pointe Farms home is a rare meeting of architecture, landscape and gracious living. Frost's contemporary vision is unmistakable in the soaring ceilings, curved walls, architectural niches and expansive windows that make Church's gardens part of the interior experience. The impressive paneled living room, with its handsome fireplace, flows beautifully into the dining room, creating a memorable setting for elegant holiday dinners, lively gatherings and everything in between. A separate den with its own fireplace offers a comfortable place to unwind, while the exceptionally large kitchen provides generous workspace, abundant storage and plenty of room for casual dining. Then there is the screened porch. Overlooking the pond, stone walls, patios and wrought-iron gates, it feels like the kind of place that has seen generations of card games, cocktails, laughter and more than a few good-natured shenanigans. With six bedrooms, five full and one half baths, the floor plan offers remarkable flexibility, including the rare luxury of three first-floor bedrooms with three full baths. The spacious first-floor primary suite features a fireplace, two private baths and an adjoining bedroom that could become an ensuite office, den, dressing room or private retreat. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths complete the second floor. Whether you are searching for a forever home with a first-floor primary suite or simply need room to grow, gather and create spaces that work for the way you live, this home can become whatever you need it to be. It is simply that good. A three-car detached garage adds convenience, while the beautifully secluded setting creates a sense of serenity rarely found in the heart of the community. Located near Lake St. Clair, resident-only Pier P
