#Henry Ford Pagoda house

[hometoursandotherstuff]

You know how I love before & after pics. Well, look at this, remember when I posted the Henry Ford pagoda house in Grosse Ile, Michigan? It was so depressing, outdated and creepy? Shellydanger just submitted it and I noticed that it had a redo. Basically, they repainted, lightened and cleared out the rooms. It was also $989,900 and now it's been lowered to $799,999. Check it out, now.

The dingy hallway before.

The hallway now- much brighter light and they removed the curtains. (Worn carpet still remains, thought.)

The living room before.

And, the new, brighter living room. (But, that carpet.)

The very dark library before.

And, the lighter brighter library now.

The dining room before.

The dining room now. New paint and a new floor.

The kitchen had great retro cabinetry and tiles.

Glad they didn't change the retro look, but it still looks like a very commercial kitchen.

The primary bedroom was dark.

They emptied it out and lightened it up.

How did the current owners keep it so dark?

Look at how different the color of the purple bath looks now.

A secondary bedroom.

Pared down and brightened.

The other lovely retro bath.

Basically it just looks like they just turned on all the lights.

The basement stairs and floor got some new paint.

They fixed up this room, but it doesn't look like they did anything with the bar.

The boat slip looks better straightened up and letting the light in.

This isn't shown on the real estate ads, but it was on the house's Facebook page- the lower level wine cellar got spectacular uplighting.

Redoing the exterior.

The exterior is really looking good.

Check out the groovy new lighting. Too see the Before realty ad on the blog, use the tag Henry Ford house before.

This 1939 Pagoda style home in Grosse Ile, Michigan once belonged to Henry Ford & his wife. Probably b/c he was a very rich man, it has security features and secrets. 4bds, 3ba, $989,900.

It has the heavy original front door with a Lotus window. The house does need a lot of work and updating.

This is the main hall. We have the cutest guide for this tour, a little black Scotty dog.

The living room is very large and has a fireplace feature wall. (Are you spotting the Scotty?)

The fireplace holds the first secret: Push in the panel on the mantel and there's a secret compartment- probably for all his money.

The wood paneled library has a large window seat and wall of shelving. The ceilings have interesting shapes, which is a lovely feature.

The library also has secret compartments.

This is the center hall outside the dining room.

The center hall has the stairs that lead to the attic.

The dining room is huge. Guess they had banquets in here for other Detroit automobile moguls.

The kitchen had some updates but it also has mostly original features like the floor, the repainted cabinets, and the green & black tiles.

This is the servant's hall- it's awfully narrow, isn't it?

This large bedroom looks like the primary.

It has a cool large orchid art deco bath.

This is a secondary bedroom.

Another cool retro bath.

Large deck around the house. The home is on the Detroit River.

In the roof of the Pagoda is an "SOS Lamp" to signal the police if there is an intruder. (Nowadays, by the time they see it, assuming that they know what it is, forget it.)

This is the upstairs switch for the SOS light.

And, this is the downstairs switch. (It's such a mess, I'm surprised that it still works.)

These are the basement stairs.

And, that's the door to the boat slip, assuming that you want to swim to it.

Another door in the boat slip opens to the wine cellar/ballroom. That glass block bar looks like it was once beautiful, with the striped awnings and maybe colored lights.

The wine cellar still has some full bottles.

The servant's door is closed off.

And, this is an escape tunnel under the road.

There are 2 acres of property.
