About 3644 Preston Street
3644 Preston St. – Historic Roots, Modern Creativity. Built in 1910, this gable-front Folk Victorian cottage with early Craftsman influences has been thoughtfully reimagined for today’s creative lifestyle. What was once a classic Detroit workers’ home has been fully renovated from the studs up—featuring new plumbing, electrical, skylights, and a durable metal roof—while preserving the proportions and architectural rhythm that connect it to the city’s historic fabric. The main floor offers a complete open floor plan uniting the living room, dining room, and kitchen—ideal for modern living and entertaining. Two spacious bedrooms and a full bath with a walk-in shower complete this level, balancing daily comfort with clean, contemporary design. The lower-level studio provides flexible workspace for visual arts, music, or performance, while the upper gallery loft serves as a light-filled showcase to display your latest work or host intimate cultural gatherings. This layering of history and modernity creates a home that blurs the line between living and creating. As an added bonus, the adjacent lot is home to an outdoor art installation by Detroit artist Chris Turner, entitled A LOT (art not included). The piece reinforces the property’s connection to Detroit’s creative energy and underscores the cultural identity of the neighborhood. Set near Eastern Market, Heidelberg Arts District, Lafayette Park, Islandview, and the Dequindre Cut, 3644 Preston stands at the intersection of historic Detroit architecture and a new creative-class movement—inviting you to plant roots, raise a family, and take part in the city’s evolving story.
