Custom-built in 1977 and lovingly cared for by its original owner, 7 Belle Meade is a home with a personal history and enduring character. This gracious ranch in Grosse Pointe Shores offers 2,701 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, where generous rooms, classic details and beautifully landscaped surroundings create a welcoming setting for everyday life and meaningful gatherings. Featuring two bedrooms and two full baths plus a half bath, the home reflects decades of attentive care and offers an opportunity for its next owner to make it their own. A separate living room and formal dining room provide inviting spaces to welcome family and friends, while the paneled family room, with its fireplace and wet bar, offers a warm setting for quiet evenings and relaxed conversation. The library/den features built-in bookshelves ready to hold favorite books and treasured keepsakes, with flexibility for potential use as a third bedroom. Hardwood floors grace both bedrooms and the primary bedroom includes a private bath. The kitchen retains its original cabinetry and features a distinctive octagonal center island, a casual eating area and a doorwall to the rear yard. Outside, extensive landscaping and an expansive rock garden reflect the same thoughtful attention found throughout the home. Exterior and landscape lighting enhance the grounds, while the spacious private deck offers a peaceful place to enjoy a morning coffee or linger at the end of the day. An unfinished basement spanning the footprint of the home offers generous storage and possibilities for the future, complemented by a two-car attached garage. Improvements include an updated electrical system in 2025, a new sump pump in 2026, a newer furnace and newly installed windows in the second bedroom and library. The roof dates to 2006, the whole-home standby generator was installed in 2013 and the home was painted in 2023. With its original cosmetic finishes and exceptional care, this distinctive one-owner home offers something special: the opportunity to honor its character while creating a new chapter of your own.
