With renovations and finishing touches, this will be a beautiful home for entertaining, and has great access to new developments in the city. True to its historic Boston Edison neighborhood, this home has many traditional formal details such as dark wood paneling and ceiling beams. A 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home of 3062 square feet, there is more than adequate space for guests or a growing family. In addition to woodwork, there are brick fireplaces on both the first and second floors, detailed staircases, many windows providing lots of natural light, built in wall cabinets in the living area, high ceilings, and a sun room. This house has great potential, but will need a lot of work. Note the roof on the garage will need to be replaced. 1725 W. Boston is also located conveniently next to the John C Lodge Freeway, and is just a few blocks away from beautiful Voight Park.
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.
