Step into timeless grandeur at 19551 Burlington Drive - one of Palmer Woods' most distinguished architectural masterpieces. Designed in 1925 by acclaimed architect Leonard Willeke, this 8,371-square-foot Tudor Revival residence is a triumph of craftsmanship and preservation. Every detail has been meticulously restored to honor its 1920s heritage while integrating modern comfort. The exterior, constructed of rare Kentucky schist stone, was inspired by England's Cotswold cottages. A slate roof, leaded-glass windows, and refined detailing set the tone for what awaits inside - a breathtaking 1,000-square-foot great room with cathedral ceilings, hand-hewn beams, elevated walkways, and walls of arched glass. Nearly every original feature has been preserved or recreated with precision, from Michigan white-oak paneling and German-silver hardware to Flint Faience tile and ornate plasterwork that showcase the artistry of the era. The kitchen blends historic charm with modern function, featuring refinished cabinetry, new appliances, and custom White Oak floors. A built-in, original Chrysler-Koppin refrigerator - fully restored and operational - remains a remarkable piece of Detroit innovation. The reimagined primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath, dressing room, and sitting area that captures natural light and warmth. Every major system has been thoughtfully renewed, including new plumbing, extensive electrical updates, and a discreet high-velocity central A/C system serving all three floors. Restored radiators, refinished hardwoods, and restored windows with added interior storms for energy efficiency complete the home's transformation. Set on landscaped grounds shaded by mature trees, the property includes a stone patio with a fountain - a tranquil outdoor retreat. Just steps from the Detroit Golf Club and in close proximity to downtown Detroit, Ferndale, and Birmingham, this residence embodies the artistry, history, and enduring beauty that define Palmer Woods.
