Here’s something truly rare: the personal mansion of renowned architect Louis Kamper is coming to market in Detroit’s historic Indian Village. Built between 1915 and 1917, this Neo-Renaissance estate combines fireproof construction (steel, limestone, and concrete) with extraordinary design—mint-green Zodiac ceilings, a sweeping marble grand staircase, carved walnut walls, and a triple-layered entry of wrought iron, bronze-framed glass, and Chinese rosewood. Spanning over 7,000 square feet, the home has been meticulously restored, preserving original plasterwork, formal rose gardens, and a private in-ground pool—an architectural time capsule that lives like a modern fortress. Upstairs, the third-floor ballroom has been boldly reimagined into a bourbon lounge and private office suite, creating the ultimate retreat for the modern mogul. This is not just a residence—it’s a masterpiece of vision, craftsmanship, and legacy. To truly understand its impact, it must be experienced in person.
