A Detroit classic, refreshed for the next 100 years! Welcome to this beautifully restored Colonial in Detroit’s iconic Boston Edison Historic District. Offering just over 2,300 sqft with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a powder room, this home strikes the perfect balance of original character, modern flair and quality craftsmanship. Step inside to a foyer featuring preserved original chevron tile and newly refinished hardwood floors. The sun drenched living room features large windows and an original wood burning fireplace. Just beyond, the formal dining room showcases original leaded glass windows, while preserved French doors open to a moody green office that adds just the right amount of personality. Through an arched doorway, discover a beautifully reimagined kitchen with black and white checkered tile, fresh white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and vintage inspired details. Just off the kitchen, an enclosed three season porch offers another space to relax and unwind. Upstairs, original leaded glass windows flood the landing with natural light. The primary suite offers a true retreat with a walk in closet and beautifully appointed ensuite bath featuring a striking glass enclosed shower with designer chosen tile. Three additional bedrooms, a second full bath and convenient second floor laundry complete the upper level. The third floor offers potential for additional living space or storage. An unfinished basement and detached two car garage provide added functionality. Major updates include a new boiler and water lines in 2022 and a new roof in 2023. Set along a beautiful, tree lined street with the Congregation and Rectory at the end of the block, this home puts you right in the heart of Boston Edison, just minutes from downtown, dining and nightlife. Eligible for the NEZ Homestead tax abatement for qualifying primary residence buyers. Nothing left to do but move in and enjoy!
