A Private Urban Estate | A Rare Detroit Penthouse Spanning nearly 5,000 square feet, this extraordinary penthouse ranks among Detroit's most architecturally distinctive residences. Hidden atop a historic Rivertown building, it offers the scale, privacy, and outdoor living more commonly associated with a private home than a traditional condominium. At the heart of the home is a 1,750-square-foot rooftop terrace, one of the largest private residential outdoor spaces in Detroit. Equal parts sanctuary and entertaining destination, it offers multiple areas for dining, lounging, and gathering beneath the skyline. Inside, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views stretching across downtown Detroit to Canada, filling the home with natural light by day and skyline views after dark. Originally designed by acclaimed Detroit architect Steve Flum, the residence is defined by exceptional craftsmanship. The 2022 custom kitchen features handcrafted cabinetry, illuminated vitrines, a sculptural island, premium appliances, and refined finishes, designed for everyday living and entertaining. A floating steel staircase by Detroit artist Logan Merry, restored cathedral doors, and a hand-carved marble wood-burning fireplace create a home that feels collected rather than constructed. The primary suite features a freestanding copper soaking tub, mosaic glass steam shower, and expansive custom closets. Three additional ensuite bedrooms provide exceptional accommodations for family and guests. Additional highlights include elevator access, motorized window shades, an integrated sound system, and two dedicated parking spaces within a secure gated lot. Just two blocks from Detroit's award-winning RiverWalk and moments from Belle Isle, the Detroit Yacht Club, downtown, acclaimed restaurants, sports venues, and cultural attractions, this is a residence unlike any other in Detroit, where authentic loft architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and one of the city's most remarkable rooftop terraces come together in a singular
