A penthouse condominium in downtown Birmingham, which is being offered for sale today at $4.1 million, is believed to be the most expensive existing such property listed in Michigan.
The condominium — the Balmoral Penthouse at 34901 Woodward Ave. — offers luxury features and amenities, panoramic views, and an elite level of privacy — setting a new standard for high-end urban living in metro Detroit.
Located at the northwest corner of Woodward Avenue and E. Brown Street (just north of Jax Car Wash), the residence was built on the roof of The Balmoral, a luxury condominium residence which opened in 2015. It offers five floors, ground floor commercial space, and interior parking.
The new penthouse, located at the south end of the roof, offers three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, an in-unit laundry room, and 3,300 square feet of space. There are 16 total rooms.
“This is not just a home; it’s a statement of refinement and prestige,” says Christopher Hubel, the listing real estate agent who works at Good Company in Royal Oak.
“The primary suite is a true retreat, boasting floor-to-ceiling glass shower walls, a freestanding 12-jet soaking tub, and stunning 120” x 60” Bianco wall slabs. Luxurious black Venato slab flooring flows throughout, creating an atmosphere of timeless sophistication.”
Designed by renowned architect Lou DesRosier, the residence includes a private elevator.
Hubel adds, “The centerpiece of the open-concept living space is an 80-inch water vapor fireplace, a striking blend of technology and ambiance. The sleek, custom kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring motorized, soft-close cabinetry and a full suite of Wolf appliances.”
In addition, there’s a 2,000-square-foot private rooftop terrace, with unobstructed fifth-floor views that extend all the way to Detroit’s skyline.
The penthouse is fully equipped with the latest in smart home technology, including:
- Sonos sound integration
- Multiple 75-inch framed 4K LED televisions
- Lutron Caseta smart switches
- Nest thermostats
- Security cameras with remote access
A private, heated two-car garage — a rarity in Birmingham — features direct elevator access to the residence.
