About the host

Hosted by Jeff Cowin

Host profile image

Jeff Cowin grew up near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a.k.a. Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. He moved to Detroit nearly 20 years ago, after finishing school and rehabbing his first home. Thanks to many great partners, our historic restoration and hospitality business ongoing at 82 Alfred Street has funded over $3 million in housing stabilization and beautification efforts in Virginia Park Historic District.

Why they chose this property

Brush Park is nestled between Downtown and Midtown Detroit, along our Woodward Corridor, and we steps from all the major theater, music, and sports venues. There is no safer and more walkable neighborhood in the entire city and possibly the region. Brush Park is home to a dazzling collection of architectural styles and numerous acclaimed bars and restaurants!

What makes this property unique

82 Alfred was designed and built for the wealthy Whitney family. No expense was spared on the design, materials, and craftsmanship.
