Louis Kamper’s Neo-Renaissance Estate

Detroit, Michigan | $1,599,000

Built between 1915 and 1917 as the personal home of legendary architect Louis Kamper, this Neo-Renaissance estate stands as one of Indian Village’s most significant private residences. Constructed with steel, limestone, and concrete, the home was designed to endure, an early “fireproof” mansion that blends Old World grandeur with modern resilience. Inside, over 7,000 square feet of exquisitely restored living space reveals Kamper’s artistry at its most personal: mint-green Zodiac ceilings, a dramatic marble grand staircase, hand-carved walnut paneling, and a striking triple-layer entry of wrought iron, bronze-framed glass, and Chinese rosewood. Every detail tells a story. Outdoors, formal rose gardens and a private in-ground pool create a secluded urban retreat, rare even within Indian Village.

The Garrett-Booth-Cheney House

Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania | $2,500,000

Rare 16th-Century Log House Origins & 18th-Century Stone Landmark! The Garrett-Booth-Cheney House is not merely a residence; it is an architectural archive of the American experience, with a structural lineage dating back to 1683. This extraordinary estate represents a continuous narrative of craftsmanship, beginning just one year after William Penn first arrived in Pennsylvania. While the home maintains its 1683 heart, it offers the space and utility of a 5-bedroom, 3-bath estate, seamlessly integrated with respectful additions from 1985 and 1990. This is a singular opportunity to own a property that has been inhabited for over three centuries. Situated on 3.8 acres of historic pasture, the Garrett-Booth-Cheney House is ready for its next chapter of stewardship.
