Sitting in the heart of the vital historic Boston Edison historic district, this home is just moments from Henry Ford Hospital, the popular New Center entertainment and shopping district, Gordon Park, the future M-1 RAIL terminus, and the M-10. Built in 1922, this handsome red brick Colonial offers immense potential curb appeal with formal stone keystones and brick lintels, traditional keyhole shutters, and a large yard. Inside, purchasers will find historic wainscotting, subway tile and marble bathrooms, wall-to-wall hardwood floors, hand-plastered moldings and Tudor arches, and an imposing formal fireplace. Though solidly-built home, the purchaser should expect to make many repairs and renovations, including extensive gutter repair, roof replacement, a new garage, plaster repair, and a kitchen overhaul, among other repairs.
This property is in the local Boston-Edison Historic District. Purchasers will need to obtain Detroit Historic District Commission approval for all major exterior improvements.
