Elegant, modern shingle-style home

1701 Winthrop is a beautifully designed Birmingham home built by PRM Custom Builders, offering many functional and custom modern-day amenities.

1701 Winthrop Lane in Birmingham is not only situated within the highly sought after neighborhood of Quarton Lake Estates, but also every detail of this 3,770-square-foot, turn-key home was custom built with the functionality of a modern lifestyle in mind.

“Every detail of this home has been carefully planned and designed,” founder and owner of PRM Custom Builders explained. “This home is a beautiful addition to an existing neighborhood of timeless designs and classic gems.”

The interior of the home boasts a beautiful and fully-functional floor plan. The spaces and rooms are defined with ceiling details and crisp lines. Some of the many interior highlights of this four-bedroom 3.5-bathroom home include Miele appliances, a concrete tiled wood burning fireplace, second floor laundry, Plato’s Inset cabinetry and ample strategic storage spaces throughout. 

The exterior features Wisconsin Fond du Lac stone veneer on the facade, a 2.25-inch thick custom walnut door with thermal insulated glass sidelites, Marvin Windows and much more. The PRM team overcame the obstacles of building on an irregular lot by stepping the footprint of the home back along the east elevation, which created vast dimension and interest.

“From the exterior to the interior, the design of this home is very cohesive,” Mooney said. “Architect Brian Neeper did a great job with scaling and massing the home’s three stories, which can often be a challenge on a smaller urban lot, and interior designer Jane Spencer and I collaborated on many of the finishes.”

After Mooney graduated from Michigan State University in 2002, he received invaluable training and experience working with his now mentor and friend, John Hummel, at one of the premier custom home building companies in the Hamptons (New York). Mooney is fully committed to developing and preserving lasting relationships with his clients, having a proven track record of client satisfaction, devotion to quality and great design. 

PRM was founded in 2009 during a recession with one custom home build in Birmingham. Under the direction and supervision of Mooney over the last 11 years, PRM’s growth can be directly attributed to consistent build quality, unique custom touches and lasting relationships with clients who happily refer Mooney and his team. PRM has won multiple Detroit Home Design Awards, including first place in the 2020 competition for architecture/design of residence 381 Pleasant Street in Birmingham.
