Monarch Boulevard is a bright, open, plant-rich creative venue nestled within a historic 1920s home on Detroit’s west side, steps from local cafes and parks. Rumored to have been designed by a chocolate company founder for his daughter and once home base to an infamous drug lord, the house now combines historic charm with modern amenities, including Ecobee smart technology, Eero mesh WiFi, and plentiful outlets. The space serves as a gathering place, creative studio, and sanctuary for reflection, transformation, and well-being. Global-fusion textiles, community-centered art, and flexible layouts support workshops, meetings, media production, ceremonies, and celebrations. Guests may request a projector, screen, or meeting facilitation setup in the living room or dining room, or use the soft natural light for photoshoots and media production. A second-floor bedroom and full bath are available for dressing or quiet room use. The grounds include a certified monarch waystation, pollinator garden, and nearly 50 indoor plants. Proceeds from guest rentals support carbon removal, and botanical consults or plant cuttings can be requested from the lush trailing purple inchplants on site. Monarch Boulevard hosts all types of values-aligned gatherings, with a focus on retreats and transformative events for nonprofits, community organizations, and social change leaders. Past guests have included award-winning chefs, fashion photoshoots, and nonprofit workshops. The home is substance-free, alcohol-free, and shared with a shy senior cat resident.
