Boasting a lovely conservatory that enhances its unique appearance, this stately Mediterranean-style villa with its Spanish-tiled roof was designed by Richard Marr, Detroit's prominent "architect to millionaires." The home was built in 1923 for I.H. Nie, an automotive executive with the Fisher Body Corporation who lived there with his family for almost 20 years.

With extensive remodeling completed in 2002, the current owners of this luxuriously appointed home have seamlessly blended the best old-world craftsmanship with today's finest modern conveniences.

Bathed with natural light streaming through an iron-grilled skylight, the foyer leads to recent enhancements: a stunning new powder room with a multi-faceted mirrored console table, and a French-inspired, L-shaped kitchen/family room sparkling with meticulously finished glass door cabinets, heated limestone floors, granite countertops and dual work centers and island cook top. Other additions include a high-tech computer area and flat panel TV screen above the fireplace, enhanced by new lighting.

Modern exterior lightscaping illuminates the home and private gardens with its newly installed fountain statue and dramatic breezeway, which incorporates antique gates with vintage lighting and ceramic relics from Detroit historical sites embedded in the brick walls.
