Architectural Gem with Modern Refinement in Storied East English Village
Welcome to 5253 Grayton St, a beautifully maintained brick duplex in the heart of East English Village—one of Detroit’s most beloved and architecturally rich neighborhoods. This classic two-unit property features two spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath flats, each offering a blend of timeless character and thoughtful modern upgrades. Both units boast newly updated kitchens, hardwood floors, fresh paint throughout, and essential improvements including all-new plumbing and a new sewer line. Original details remain intact, from the solid wood interior doors and wide wood trim to the plaster ceiling medallions and vintage arched openings—preserving the craftsmanship that defines this historic area. This is an ideal setup for a house hacker or investor: live in one unit and rent out the other to offset your mortgage or generate income. Each flat offers comfortable room sizes, abundant natural light, and a layout that feels both classic and functional. Located just steps from the revitalized East Warren commercial corridor, you’ll be within walking distance to new restaurants, cafes, and neighborhood amenities, with easy access to downtown Detroit and Grosse Pointe. Rare is the opportunity to claim such a handsomely restored dwelling in a coveted historic district on the upswing. Here, character is not curated—it’s authentic. Seize the moment where heritage meets upward momentum. UPDATES INCLUDEs: New gutters/soffit system, new sewer line with back flow protection, new electrical panels, mini split for AC/heat 2nd floor. Bed/bath/kitchen windows upgraded 2024

I’m a first-generation American with Italian roots. My journey combines family, real estate, and the American dream. Raised in a loving home, I embraced my Italian heritage and studied in Italy before returning to the US. As a mother of four, married for 30 years, my joy is family time. Real estate runs in my blood, inspired by my parents’ success in the industry. I earned my real estate license at 18, learned from a mentor at Century 21, and continued to grow at Remax.
