Detroit is not a market full of expensive homes, so it unusual when one is for sale in the high seven figures hits the listings. The house at 17731 Hamilton Rd. is large at over 5,000 square feet, but needs work, or at least the listing hints as much. Thus, the $799,000 price would be higher if the house were in good repair.

The house sits next to the Detroit Golf Club, which was established in 1899 and has two full 18 hole courses. It is also near the Woodward Ave, a major north to south artery into Detroit.

The house was built in 1923, and has 6 bedrooms and 6.5 baths on three floors.

17731 Hamilton Rd is in a gated community of only 30 homes, but according to the listing at Realtor.com “demands attention” which is a phrase which may cut two ways. However, the home has only been on the market for a few weeks, so there are no signs it is one of those properties which lingers because of need for repair, price, or location.

The listing itself:

Sitting majestically on the 11th hole of the North Course of the 36 hole Detroit Golf Course is this 3 story, 7000+SF baby mansion styled home. Boasting an open floor plan, this 6 BR 6.5 bath home sits on a private road with 24 hour security. Beautiful wood floors & golf course views from almost every room.

No matter how attractive the home is, it is a mansion, and it is Detroit.
