Sitting on a generously-sized 55 x 134 foot lot in the heart of one of the city’s premier historic districts, this stately home offers convenient access to M-10, Henry Ford Hospital, Gordon Park, and is just minutes from the future terminus M-1 RAIL. With three imposing gabled dormers, an intricate pediment with matching pilasters, and a handsome brick façade, this home exemplifies the elegance of the Colonial Revival style. Inside, visitors will find elaborate wainscoting, formal dining areas, an ornate fireplace, and extensive hardwood floors in this 1919 structure. Although much of the home is in solid condition, the second floor rear bedroom sustained a minor fire. Consequently, the purchaser will need to replace several windows, and complete roofing repairs and interior overhaul of this area, in addition to 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.
