About This Home

This 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom single family at 19385 Renfrew Road in Detroit, MI is listed for $700,000 ($162 per sqft). Built in 1936, the home offers 4,315 sqft of living space on a 0.69 acres lot.

Agent Description

A rare opportunity to own one of Sherwood Forest’s most distinguished homes, set on an expansive .69-acre lot—nearly triple the size of most neighborhood parcels. The park-like grounds and French Provincial architecture create the feel of a private chateau in the heart of the city.

This spacious five-bedroom, 4.2-bathroom residence blends historic charm with exceptional livability. The large primary suite features a fireplace and an ensuite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms also offer private baths—ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Hardwood floors are found throughout the home, enhancing its warmth and character.

A stunning wood-paneled library serves as a true showpiece with built-in shelving, rich millwork, and one of the home’s four fireplaces. Generously sized living and dining areas provide excellent flow for entertaining. The finished lower level adds 1,617 sq. ft. of additional living space, complete with daylight windows overlooking the backyard and another fireplace, perfect for a recreation room, media area, or home gym.

Living in Sherwood Forest offers unique advantages: as part of a Special Assessment District, residents benefit from private security patrols and snow removal for just $300 per year. The location is exceptional—minutes from Palmer Park, the Detroit Golf Club, the Livernois Avenue of Fashion, and a short drive to downtown Detroit, Ferndale, and Birmingham.

This property also qualifies for the NEZ-H tax abatement, providing substantial long-term savings for the next owner.

Offering a rare combination of architectural beauty, historic pedigree, and unmatched outdoor space, this Sherwood Forest estate is one of Detroit’s finest opportunities.
