About this property

Mid-Century Modern Retreat on Detroit Golf Club

Historic Detroit Icon - Originally built for the Feigenson family, founders of Faygo Pop
Golf Course Front Row - Backyard opens directly onto the Detroit Golf Club, home of the Rocket Mortgage Classic
Film-Ready Fame - Appeared in movies and commercials, including a Michigan Lottery/Detroit Lions production
As Featured In - Dwell Magazine and Curbed Detroit
Sleeps 10 - 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half baths across 3,400 sq ft of mid-century splendor

Built in 1960 for the founders of Faygo, this 5-bedroom mid-century modern original sits directly along the Detroit Golf Club in Palmer Woods—where Aretha Franklin once kept a home.

Welcome to the ultimate blend of luxury, history, and design. This architectural landmark has been featured in Dwell Magazine and used in national commercial productions—offering a stay that feels closer to a private design museum than a typical home.

Inside, the interiors remain remarkably intact, showcasing iconic mid-century pieces including a Noguchi table, LC4 chaise lounge, Tulip chairs, and other original classics.

Every summer, the Rocket Mortgage Classic unfolds just beyond the backyard—giving you a front-row seat to one of Detroit’s premier events.

Directly across the street sits the Turkel House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, placing you in one of the most architecturally significant pockets of the city.

Managed by Great Stays, this home delivers a seamless, high-touch guest experience from booking to checkout.
