For the first time in over a decade, one of Flint’s most iconic residences—a 1929 architectural jewel—has emerged from private ownership and onto the market. Nestled on two impeccably manicured acres in a neighborhood locally referred to as the Miller Road mansions, this grand estate is more than just a home—it’s a living testament to craftsmanship, history, and timeless elegance.
Spanning more than 6,000 square feet, the residence blends old-world artistry with modern preservation, creating a space that is both breathtaking and historically significant. Originally built during Flint’s golden era, this estate captures the essence of 1920s affluence and the meticulous attention to detail that defined the period.
A Grand First Impression
From the moment you step through the front doors, the home makes a lasting statement. The entryway is adorned with Flint Faience Tile, a locally produced ceramic art form now rare and highly coveted. A hand-carved wooden staircase, rich in detail and craftsmanship, draws the eye upward toward the crown jewel of the foyer: a hand-painted dome ceiling by acclaimed artist Steve Heddy, complete with delicate gold leafing and a custom design that mirrors the intricate silhouette of the chandelier beneath it.
An Interior Rich in Detail and Drama
Throughout the home, original hardware, lighting fixtures, and black walnut woodwork remain intact, offering a level of authenticity rarely seen in modern renovations. The library exudes warmth and character, while parquet floors, ornate plaster cornices, and marble baseboards speak to the care and consideration of every design choice made nearly a century ago.
Arched doorways and decorative ceiling medallions enhance the architectural rhythm of the space, while eight bathrooms—each with unique period features—reflect the home’s scale and sophistication.
Entertaining in Style, Past and Present
Descend into the finished basement, and you’ll find yourself transported back in time. Terrazzo flooring, a gas fireplace, and a built-in bar dating back to 1929 offer the perfect setting for hosting guests in an atmosphere steeped in heritage. Even the vintage refrigerators, still standing, add to the charm and authenticity of this storied home.
A Private Estate Made for Leisure and Elegance
Outside, the home’s exterior is equally impressive. A slate roof, accented with copper ridge caps, gutters, and downspouts, signals the durability and craftsmanship of the structure. The aggregate terrace invites elegant outdoor entertaining, while formal gardens and three tranquil water features provide a serene retreat from the world beyond the gates.
Garage space for up to eight cars further enhances the property’s appeal, accommodating collectors and enthusiasts with ease.
A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Flint’s History
This is not merely a home—it is a legacy property, offering its next owners a rare blend of art, architecture, and historical significance. Whether you’re a connoisseur of fine design, a preservationist at heart, or someone seeking an estate with true character, this residence offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
