Description

Rare southwest corner "Davis" floorplan at the historic Fort Shelby Residences, offering sweeping views of the Detroit River, Ambassador Bridge, and downtown skyline. Large windows on multiple exposures flood the home with natural light while creating a constantly changing backdrop of river traffic, city lights, and spectacular sunsets. The spacious open-concept layout features an updated kitchen with brand-new stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a large center island, and abundant cabinetry. Wood flooring flows throughout the living spaces, while oversized windows showcase the panoramic views from nearly every room. The open living and dining areas provide an ideal setting for entertaining or simply enjoying one of downtown Detroit's most dynamic vistas. The generous primary suite offers river views, plush carpeting, and a beautifully appointed bath with stone flooring, granite countertops, a soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower. A second bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Originally the iconic Hotel Fort Shelby, this landmark building blends historic architecture with modern convenience. Residents enjoy hotel-style amenities including 24-hour valet service, concierge, fitness center, on-site restaurant and bar, coffee shop serving Starbucks®, and food delivery services. HOA dues include gas, water, most heating and cooling costs through the building's energy-efficient heat pump system, along with fitness center access and valet service. Owners also enjoy discounts at the building's restaurant, bar, and coffee shop. Located in the heart of downtown Detroit, Fort Shelby places you just steps from Campus Martius, the Financial District, riverfront parks, major sporting venues, restaurants, and entertainment. Few residences combine this level of service, historic character, and riverfront views in such a central location.
