About This Home

688 Balfour Street

The perfect combination of timeless pre-war character and thoughtfully curated modern updates, just steps from Lake St. Clair. This exceptional residence offers an ideal blend of historic charm and today's most desired amenities, featuring a beautifully updated kitchen that opens seamlessly to the stunning round family room, creating a rare and functional open-concept layout. Recent improvements include a newly renovated foyer, living room, and first-floor powder room, along with numerous cosmetic updates throughout the home that further elevate its style and appeal. All bathrooms have been updated, and the home also features a mudroom located off the attached heater garage, second-floor laundry (plus additional basement laundry), and a spectacular finished lower level complete with a large entertainment area, wet bar, and spa-inspired full bath. Virtually every major system has been addressed, including plumbing, electrical, windows, copper gutters, HVAC, blown-in insulation, and a French drain system—providing peace of mind for years to come. Situated on an impressive 0.65-acre lot, additional highlights include a circular driveway and additional storage shed. A truly rare offering in Grosse Pointe Park, combining character, scale, modern updates, and an unbeatable location near the waterfront, resident-only parks, and just minutes from Downtown Detroit.
