Property Description
Where History Meets Heart in Boston-Edison! From the moment you walk through the door, you'll feel the soul of the past—soaring ceilings, original woodwork, and details that tell a story at every turn. This isn't just a home, it's a piece of Detroit history—ready for its next chapter. From the grand, wide entryway to the warm glow of original wood floors, every detail of this home is designed to captivate and inspire you. Large, light-filled windows invite natural light to pour into every room, highlighting the home's rich vintage charm. With 5 spacious bedrooms, 3.5 baths, formal living and dining rooms, plus bonus spaces like a cozy sitting room, breakfast nook, and expansive third-floor primary suite, there's plenty of room for both quiet moments and lively gatherings. A butler's stairway, two decks, and a full unfinished basement add even more versatility. Two-car detached garage. This home also qualifies for the NEZ-Homestead tax abatement, offering a reduction in your millage rate—a rare perk in this coveted historic neighborhood. A true gem in the city's crown, the Boston-Edison Historic District is one of the most storied and architecturally significant neighborhoods in Detroit. Lined with grand homes built between 1905 and 1925, it was once home to some of Detroit's most influential figures—think Henry Ford, Berry Gordy, and Sebastian Kresge. Each block feels like a curated collection of American architecture—Colonial Revivals, Tudors, and Mediterranean villas—all preserved with pride and filled with character you simply can't replicate. Wide, tree-lined streets, a strong sense of community, and proximity to Midtown, Downtown, and the Cultural Center make this neighborhood both peaceful and connected. Just minutes to major thoroughfares like M-10, I-75, and I-94 for super easy commuting. Don't miss this one!
