Tour the woods: Gorgeous homes in Detroit's Palmer Woods that is, this Sunday
Dec. 7
10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Nestled in a corner near the top of the city, Palmer Woods is a Detroit neighborhood filled with
harmony, diversity and warmth. It has multicultural residents, architectural
treasures, and natural beauty in a wooded, urban setting. It's an historic
enclave of about 300 homes west of Woodward Avenue and north
of Seven Mile Road.
Best of all, this gorgeous neighborhood is an accommodating place, always welcoming visitors to come visit its winding streets and tree-lined sidewalks, bordered
by magnificent Tudor Revival, Neo-Georgian, Mediterranean, Modern and
Craftsman homes. Many of those glorious houses were designed by architectural titans like Frank Lloyd
Wright, Minoru Yamasaki, Albert Kahn, Maginnis & Walsh, C. Howard
Crane, Richard H. Marr and others.
You can see some of these gems for yourself this Sunday, Dec. 7, 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., when six homes will be open for the annual Holiday Home Tour, a two-decade
tradition in Palmer Woods. History and architectural splendors will be
showcased at each home with exciting examples of beauty, warmth and
holiday adornment. The homes will be accented and set with styling by
professional designers.
Dress warmly for the tour, and make sure to stop into the warming station in the Carriage House at 1830 Balmoral Drive where complimentary hot beverages will be served. You can begin the tour here or at any home on the tour.
