Palmer Park Mid-Century Ranch — Newly Renovated and Offered for the First Time in 75 Years. Set along a quiet, tree-lined boulevard near the Detroit Golf Club, this light-filled 1950 split-level ranch offers a distinctive opportunity in the Palmer Park area, adjacent to the University District and the Palmer Woods Historic District. Thoughtfully renovated with an eye toward preserving original character, the home blends classic mid-century design with carefully selected modern updates. The main living level features an open and inviting layout connecting the living room, dining area, and a bright four-seasons room that expands the home’s everyday living and entertaining space. Original hardwood floors pair with slate-look ceramic tile to create a warm, design-forward interior that honors the home’s architectural roots. The redesigned and expanded kitchen introduces blonde woodgrain cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, offering a clean and contemporary workspace that complements the home’s mid-century aesthetic. Original details remain throughout, including restored baths, pocket doors, original hardware, and a richly paneled office or bedroom that adds character and flexibility. The lower level provides additional finished living space highlighted by oversized hexagon tile flooring and a flexible room that may function as a fourth bedroom, guest suite, den, or media space. A full bath, walk-in closet, and walkout access to the paved patio connect this level to the outdoor living areas and four-seasons room above. Additional highlights include a spacious laundry room with a convenient dog wash station and a two-car garage accessed via a covered walkway. Situated on a fenced lot in the Palmer Park neighborhood, this thoughtfully updated mid-century home offers architectural character, flexible living space, and convenient proximity to the Detroit Golf Club and nearby amenities.
