The space
HIGHLIGHTS:
*Centrally located allowing quick access to major hubs of Metro Detroit
*Private, fully fenced yard with outdoor dining area & firepit
*High-efficiency appliances with modern comfort
*Large windows radiating a ton of natural lighting
*No stairs, single floor ranch
Designed and fully renovated by partner SHM, the Sojourn House was our attempt to preserve the original ranch architecture of our Madison Heights home while bringing modern elements. We hope to inspire and provide a unique space that invokes the desert environment while pulling in the beauty of our urban Detroit.
This is a great home for families with its classic ranch-style layout. There are no steps in the home and have designed it to have flow and space to easily move around.
Highlights of the kitchen include a full remodel with stainless steel appliances and an adjacent dining room. The ranch-style home includes three full bedrooms, a beautifully updated bathroom, and a spacious living area. The living area is curated with art that inspires the space and a cozy bar area.
A functional utility room with full laundry also enables as the main entrance to the home.

About the host
Hosted by Christine Hayden

I am so excited to welcome you to beautiful Detroit. The city has the backbone and determination of the American manufacturing industry and also the charm and character of many European cities. I love hosting people in Motor City and showing all the great things the area offers. Detroit has become my home, and I hope to share it with you.
I look forward to making wonderful new friendships with people from around the world. :)
