1950s Time Capsule With Cadillac, Vintage Baby Grand Asks $550K

DETROIT, MI -- This may be the most unique listing in Metro Detroit. This 3-bedroom, 2.2-bath home built in 1951 and located at 450 W Grixdale, Detroit goes by the owner-given title of “Lion Gate Estate.” There is an epic amount of white carpeting, and while the home was built in the early 1950s, the decor is pure 1970s. From the nature-inspired ceiling fresco in the kitchen, to the flowered ceiling in the wood-paneled den, to the glass and black marble finishes, the only thing missing here are dream houseguests Liberace and Charo.

Highlights outside include a heated pool with an outdoor shower and cabana, many Greek revival statues, and a garage as curated and decorated as any living room. The custom two-car garage features hand painted automotive murals, but that's not even close to the best part: the house comes complete with all its contents, and that includes a custom-built 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan and a 1974 Lincoln Mark IV Coupe. The home's finished basement contains a billiard room and entertainment area set up as a fully-furnished cafe.

Other notable items you get with this truly one-of-a-kind house include a Kohler Campbell baby grand player piano and, per the listing copy "mint condition Frigidaire kitchen appliances c. 1950." There are some intriguing conditions on seeing this house: prospective owners must show "proof of funds," and the home is "only shown on sunny days." Given the weather predictions, you may have to wait til April for a tour, but given the photographs, it's well worth the wait.
