About 1401 Nicolet Place
Discover timeless modern living at 1401 Nicolet Place, a fully renovated end-unit co-op in the iconic Lafayette Park development designed by Mies van der Rohe. This midcentury modern residence blends crisp lines, abundant light, and a strong connection to the landscape—hallmarks of van der Rohe’s vision.
Inside, the open layout is anchored by concrete floors and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that erase the boundary between indoors and out. Renovations have elevated the home while preserving its modernist character, creating bright, stylish spaces that feel both current and true to the original design. The living and dining areas feature clean geometry and generous proportions for everyday living or entertaining, while the updated kitchen supports easy flow with a fresh, functional layout.
Upstairs, bedrooms continue the theme of simplicity, light, and connection to nature. The end location offers a balance of privacy and openness, enhanced by unobstructed views of the landscaped commons that define Lafayette Park. Thoughtful details—from the disciplined floor plan to the expanses of glass—make this home both an architectural statement and a comfortable retreat. Step outside into one of Detroit’s most beloved neighborhoods. Mature trees, walking paths, and lush grounds surround the development, with Lafayette Park just steps away. Residents enjoy playgrounds, trails, and open green spaces that perfectly complement the surrounding mid-century architecture. Beyond the neighborhood, you’re minutes from downtown, Eastern Market, the Detroit RiverWalk, and the Dequindre Cut, along with a growing mix of dining, shopping, and cultural destinations. Combining architectural significance, modernist design, thoughtful renovations, and urban convenience. Monthly co-op fee includes: property taxes, building insurance, internet/cable, water, grounds maintenance, snow removal, security, water heater, geothermal unit, and trash removal.
