Property Description

Welcome to Unit 39 at Leland Lofts, a one-of-a-kind residence inside the historic Nellie Leland School, a 1918 Renaissance Revival landmark transformed into distinctive loft-style condominiums in the heart of Lafayette Park. Rich in architectural character and layered with modern upgrades, this residence offers an elevated take on Detroit loft living. Inside, soaring ceilings and oversized east-facing windows fill the space with natural light, while restored original classroom cabinetry with poured glass panels honor the building’s history. Hardwood floors extend throughout the open-concept layout, complemented by custom cherry kitchen cabinetry and thoughtfully designed lighting, including LED accents within the original built-ins and ambient kitchen lighting. The kitchen is outfitted with premium appliances including a Dacor gas range, built-in GE Monogram microwave and oven, Maytag refrigerator and Sub-Zero undercounter wine fridge. Additional updates include a reverse osmosis water filtration system installed in 2022, a Nature Green LG WashTower added in 2022 and a hot water heater replaced in 2020. The spacious bathroom features both a soaking tub and walk-in shower, while storage is exceptionally rare for loft living, including overhead storage, a basement storage cage with shelving and eight private hallway lockers directly outside the residence. Residents enjoy access to a shared rooftop deck, community garden, one assigned garage parking space and an additional gated surface space. HOA dues include high-speed Xfinity internet, water, trash, sewer and common area maintenance. Perfectly positioned near Eastern Market, Downtown Detroit, Dequindre Cut and Lafayette Park, Unit 39 offers historic character, thoughtful updates and urban convenience in one of Detroit’s most unique residential communities. NEZ-Homestead abatement in effect and may be transferable. See LA for details.
