About the Listing 100780 - 627064,676566

Experience refined, effortless downtown living at the Historic Fort Shelby Residences, centered on Campus Martius, the RiverWalk, and Detroit's most walkable stretch of restaurants, theaters, and public spaces. You are immediately in the heart of the city, yet elevated above its energy. The Ellington (E) floorplan unfolds in a clean, corner-oriented layout that prioritizes light, views, and separation of spaces. A gently curved living and dining area is wrapped in windows on two sides, drawing in sunlight and river views. The open kitchen runs along one wing with a functional galley-plus-island configuration that connects naturally to the main living space. The primary suite is privately positioned on one end of the residence, while the additional bedroom(s) sit across the unit off a short hallway, creating a natural buffer between living and sleeping areas. Designed for the professional city dweller, this corner residence functions as an efficient, low-friction home base. Recent updates include brand-new stainless-steel appliances, warm wood floors, and refined stone finishes in the primary bath, all set within Albert Kahn's landmark tower. Large windows frame sweeping views of the Detroit River and skyline throughout the day. For those who split their time between places, Fort Shelby works beautifully as a second home. Hotel-style services remove everyday friction - on-site bar and restaurant, Starbucks-serving coffee shop, concierge and doorman, food delivery, 24/7 fitness center, business center, and secure parking. This residence is also the more thoughtful choice compared to the neighboring Westin Book Cadillac, where units are typically priced higher while carrying unabated taxes and steeper monthly HOA dues. Here, you benefit from a NEZ-Rehab tax abatement through 2033 (available to owner-occupants, second-home owners, and investors alike).
