Some houses make you want to stay a while. Step through the arched oak door and this one starts working on you right away. Leaded glass windows flank the fireplace, a plaster relief panel sits above the mantel, and a cast medallion centers the living room ceiling. Original hardwood runs underfoot, the interior doors are original as well with their hardware intact, and the radiators give off the quiet, even radiant heat that makes a house feel settled in January. Three bedrooms and one and a half baths, both finished in white tile with black mosaic accents. The kitchen keeps its original wood cabinetry and adds quartz counters and a new sink, a renovation handled with restraint rather than demolition.Outside there is a fenced yard with room for a garden or a dog, and a two car garage off a private drive. The block is brick homes of the same vintage under mature trees, a street that has held its shape. This is Yorkshire Woods, an east side neighborhood built when craftsmanship was the standard, with Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods a short drive away. At $114,900, this is the rare house that still has all its character and leaves you room to make it your own. Side lot included.
