2150 Iroquois Street Detroit MI 48201 MLS #20261001443

A once-in-a-generation architectural residence, designed by the architect who defined Detroit’s golden age.

Built between 1915 and 1917 as the personal home of legendary architect Louis Kamper, this Neo-Renaissance estate stands as one of Indian Village’s most significant private residences. Constructed with steel, limestone, and concrete, the home was designed to endure, an early “fireproof” mansion that blends Old World grandeur with modern resilience.

Inside, over 7,000 square feet of exquisitely restored living space reveals Kamper’s artistry at its most personal: mint-green Zodiac ceilings, a dramatic marble grand staircase, hand-carved walnut paneling, and a striking triple-layer entry of wrought iron, bronze-framed glass, and Chinese rosewood. Every detail tells a story.

The estate has undergone over $850,000 in thoughtful improvements, preserving original plasterwork, moulding, and doors while seamlessly integrating modern systems for comfort and efficiency. Highlights include a new 95% efficient Lochinvar boiler, high-efficiency central air, whole-house generator, and a full restoration of roof, gutters and windows.

Outdoors, formal rose gardens and a private in-ground pool create a secluded urban retreat, rare even within Indian Village. On the third floor, the former ballroom has been reimagined into a refined library, office, and bourbon lounge, offering a private sanctuary for work, entertaining, or quiet retreat.
