Step inside a rare Bloomfield Hills landmark: an authentic 1929 Tudor that preserves original craftsmanship while accommodating modern living across 13,736 square feet. The moment you enter the grand foyer you feel the scale — intricate millwork, leaded glass, and a sequence of formal rooms that include a stately library, formal living and dining rooms, and a dramatic ballroom well suited to concerts, fundraisers, or private entertaining.
A singular interior detail anchors the house’s provenance: the bar area is tiled with historic pieces imported from Napoleon Bonaparte’s carriage house in France, a provenance that speaks to the estate’s collected history. The home’s layout also includes multiple intimate sitting rooms, seven bedrooms (including generous primary suites), six full bathrooms and four half baths, and an intelligently finished basement for recreation or staff use. Structural integrity and historic materials remain evident — brick construction, a slate roof, original fireplaces — while essential systems are updated (central AC, forced air natural gas heating).
Outside, the property reveals why 8.22 acres in Bloomfield Hills is so coveted: sweeping, manicured gardens, a private swimming pool, full-size tennis court, guest house, and mature specimen trees that create privacy from Vaughan Road. A long private drive and 460 feet of frontage frame the estate; a six-car attached garage and ample service areas support large-scale hosting and everyday household logistics. Whether hosting a summer pool party, a weekend tennis match, or an elegant dinner after a performance in the ballroom, the grounds are designed to perform.
Location is part of the package: this estate sits near the Cranbrook Educational Community and just minutes from Bloomfield Hills Country Club, with downtown Birmingham and the Somerset Collection a short drive away for dining, shopping and cultural life. This property offers a rare combination — an intact historic Tudor with grand entertaining spaces, unique provenance, modern mechanicals, and expansive grounds — presenting a once-in-a-generation opportunity for collectors, families, or patrons of the arts.
Please note: buyers should verify lot boundaries, historic preservation restrictions, and roof/maintenance history during due diligence. With comparable sales in the immediate area supporting a $12M–$14M valuation range, this home is positioned as one of Bloomfield Hills’ standout estates.
Bloomfield Hills is synonymous with private estates, academic and cultural institutions, and a quiet, park-like residential character. Residents enjoy immediate access to the Cranbrook Educational Community — offering museums, gardens and cultural programming — plus private country clubs and elite shopping and dining in nearby Birmingham and the Somerset Collection. Streets are tree-lined and predominantly single-family, creating a sheltered, exclusive lifestyle ideal for families and collectors of historic homes. The school district and nearby private schools add to the area’s draw for buyers seeking both prestige and privacy.
Bloomfield Hills’ luxury estate market remains stable with pockets of strong demand. At the neighborhood level, median sale price across all property tiers sits near $1.5M, but recent luxury comps within a mile for historic estates have closed between $12M and $14M, supporting a midpoint estimate near $13M for this property. Inventory in the area is lean for high-end product — overall inventory months are about 3 months — which generally indicates a balanced market. Average days on market for the local market sits near 45 days, but expect substantially longer marketing periods for ultra-high-end homes unless priced to market and presented to the right buyer pool.
For sellers: well-priced, well-documented historic estates that highlight provenance and turnkey condition are attracting buyers willing to transact at premium levels. For buyers: there is selection, but liquidity is lower in this price band — careful valuation and patience during due diligence are essential. Recent appreciation is modest over 12 months (approx. 5%) and stronger over five years (~25%), reflecting steady interest in Bloomfield Hills’ estate inventory. Overall, the luxury segment here favors sellers of standout properties but remains disciplined; this is an opportune moment for buyers seeking a unique historic estate with demonstrated comparables and long-term appreciation trends.
