The gorgeous, restored Charles Fisher Mansion in Detroit is a stunning work of art. According to MLive, in 2018, “The Good Doctor” actor Hill Harper, who owns the home, brought in designers from six states to redesign 44 rooms in the historic home. In a mansion this size, it’s tough ask to get everyone to find a common thread in the rooms. However, many of these spaces blend the most fascinating aspects of the past with modern design elements. Even with so many artists creating different spaces, the style doesn’t feel disjointed or out of sync. Every room has its own distinct personality. Settle in for an interesting look inside Harper’s historic Charles Fisher mansion.

An Enduring Classic
The 15,000 square foot mansion was built in 1922 and maintains its beautiful classic style.

Why Don’t We Still Have Siiting Rooms?
This home has countless sitting rooms, each one displaying a different, interesting aesthetic. Here, we get a delicate, feminine vibe.
Boys Club
Those floral sitting room vibes are contrasted by a masculine wood themed sitting room where men probably enjoyed their whiskey and cigars.
Boys Club Part II
We assume this space that accompanies the very male sitting room.
Private Sitting Area
The way this space flows together, it must be the primary suite. The sitting area has a warmer, more personal feel than others in the home.

The simple, clean lines of the bedroom make it feel very welcoming.
