Northville's Most Expensive Condo

Step inside The Downs Northville for a full home tour of the Griswold Townhome — Hunter Pasteur's crown jewel of this highly anticipated downtown development. This model is 3,200 square feet with four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, three levels, and a finished third-floor flex space. You can buy it fully furnished, right down to the Keurig. The Griswold Townhomes range from 2,400-3,200 square feet with 3-4 bedrooms, attached two-car garages, and primary suites available on either floor. This unit features Thermador appliances, California Closets, a quartz waterfall island, built-in sound system, nine-foot Euro shower doors, two wet bars, and eight-foot doors throughout. I've sold over 8,000 homes across Metro Detroit in 24 years, including extensively in Northville. The Downs is the most anticipated development to hit downtown in decades — and Hunter Pasteur Homes is the builder behind it. They've been building luxury in Michigan for 25 years and are no strangers to high-profile projects: The Godfrey Hotel Detroit, City Modern in Brush Park, and Birmingham Pointe Apartments are just a few in their portfolio. What is The Downs Northville? A limited collection of 49 luxury residences — Brownstones, Townhomes, Carriage Homes, and Residential Flats — built on the former Northville Downs horse track. Walking distance to downtown Northville, the new expanded farmers market, Lucy and the Wolf, and The Geneticist. Maintenance-free living with landscaping and snow removal included. Two standout amenities: River Park is a 10-acre greenway along the restored Rouge River featuring pedestrian bridges, cycling trails, riverfront overlooks, and bike stations. Central Park adds another 1.25 acres of public green space for year-round community gatherings. Residents are zoned for Northville Public Schools — consistently one of the top-rated districts in Michigan. How much do homes at The Downs cost? Residences range from around $1M for carriage homes up to $1.8M for brownstones with private elevators and rooftop terraces. Hunter Pasteur is also launching 200 East Cady nearby — 178 luxury rentals with 8,000 sq ft of ground-floor retail. As for this Griswold Townhome? You'll have to guess.
