Grosse Point 8616 is a two-story Craftsman home spanning 1,540 square feet of heated living area, optimized for a 28-foot wide by 47-foot 8-inch deep footprint. The exterior profile is defined by a 6:12 roof pitch and a covered front porch, while the structure reaches a maximum height of 28 feet 7 inches. This plan prioritizes a compact, high-utility layout that maximizes the site footprint through vertical organization.
The main floor occupies 717 square feet, centering on an open-concept living core that links the family room to the kitchen and dining zones. A fireplace acts as the focal point of the primary gathering area, which remains connected to the kitchen via a central island and an integrated eating bar. A walk-in pantry provides dedicated storage, while the adjacent breakfast area facilitates direct access to the covered back porch. A powder room is located on this level to serve guests without impacting private zones.
The second floor provides 823 square feet of living space, housing three bedrooms and a versatile loft area suitable for a study or media nook. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a private bathroom, while two secondary bedrooms share access to a full bathroom. A second-floor laundry room is positioned to minimize travel distance from the bedroom wing, increasing operational efficiency.
Structural specifications include 9-foot ceilings on the first floor and 8-foot ceilings on the second floor, creating a consistent sense of volume. The home is built with 2x4 wall framing and sits above an unfinished basement featuring 9-foot ceilings, which offers flexibility for future expansion. The design is completed by a 328-square-foot front-load 1-car garage, keeping the overall structure within a manageable site coverage profile.
