Property Description
644 Melbourne is a classic 1918 Detroit home located in the historic North End, a neighborhood long connected to the city’s early residential growth and its proximity to the automotive and cultural corridors of Woodward Avenue. The home has been fully updated while keeping key original elements that reflect its era. The open main level features hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a layout typical of early Detroit construction—solid, functional, and built to last. Recent improvements include newer windows, a newer roof, and interior updates that pair perfectly with classic Detroit character. Original details remain throughout the home: wood bannisters, vintage cabinetry, detailed trim, archways, and wood floors that speak to the craftsmanship of the early 20th century. The kitchen includes preserved vintage cabinetry paired with granite countertops, new appliances, practical prep space, and storage that aligns with the home’s original footprint. With four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, the home offers several functional layout options. The first-floor bedroom and bath serve as a true main-level suite—an uncommon feature in homes from this period. The basement provides dry, usable space for storage and laundry. Out back, the fenced yard offers a private outdoor area with a deck, updated landscaping, and alley access for parking—consistent with traditional Detroit lot design. The North End continues to see steady reinvestment and restoration, supported by its location near the Henry Ford Hospital campus, Midtown, and Downtown. The area remains architecturally significant, with a strong mix of early Detroit homes and ongoing revitalization projects. 644 Melbourne reflects a piece of Detroit’s residential history—updated, preserved, and ready for its next owner.
