Architect Louis Kamper’s Historic Mansion

Detroit, Michigan

$1,999,000

Here’s something truly rare: the personal mansion of renowned architect Louis Kamper is coming to market in Detroit’s historic Indian Village. Built between 1915 and 1917, this Neo-Renaissance estate combines fireproof construction (steel, limestone, and concrete) with extraordinary design—mint-green Zodiac ceilings, a sweeping marble grand staircase, carved walnut walls, and a triple-layered entry of wrought iron, bronze-framed glass, and Chinese rosewood. Spanning over 7,000 square feet, the home has been meticulously restored, preserving original plasterwork, formal rose gardens, and a private in-ground pool—an architectural time capsule that lives like a modern fortress.
