Property Description
This rare Detroit landmark compound includes 19434 Ilene Street, 19442 Ilene Street, and the iconic Mid-Century Modern ranch at 4040 W Outer Drive. Offering over 5,000 sq. ft. of living space, the home features a primary suite with a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi jets, and skylit walk-in closet, along with floor-to-ceiling windows, soaring angled ceilings, exposed brick, rare slate flooring, a glass fireplace highlighted in a 1957 Detroit Free Press article, and original built-in grills. Perfect for entertaining, the property includes a finished basement with wet bar and daylight windows, multiple door walls opening to a private courtyard, plus modern upgrades such as a sprinkler system, dual-zoned furnaces, two-way audio security, and a full-house gas generator. Once host to Motown legends, Aretha Franklin, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and located in the NEZ Homestead district, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Detroit history. 19442 Ilene needs TLC, while 19434 Ilene suffered fire damage and will require a full renovation.
