Property Description
Step into a timeless masterpiece at 800 Edison, where historic grandeur meets modern elegance in Detroit's storied Boston-Edison neighborhood. Designed in 1913 by architect Ira H. Benjamin for Dr. William A. Evans, this stately brick Craftsman estate sits on a beautifully landscaped corner lot that overlooks Voigt Park and offers 6 bedrooms, 2 full and 1 half baths. Inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, this residence has been lovingly restored over the years to preserve its exquisite woodwork and historic charm. Inside, the home flows gracefully from room to room, highlighted with rich hardwood floors, oak beam ceilings, beveled glass oak doors, leaded glass windows, and intricate moldings all speaking to the enduring craftsmanship of a bygone era. Sunlight pours into the formal living spaces, which include an elegant dining room adorned with arts & crafts oak built-ins, and a warm, inviting living room where exposed oak ceiling beams, stately wood moldings, and a striking wood burning fireplace accented by brick, creates a cozy yet sophisticated focal point. A character-filled library with beveled glass doors adds another layer of charm. The kitchen blends vintage soul with modern function— white cabinetry, black tile backsplash, original glass-front cabinets—with an adjacent butler's pantry & quaint breakfast nook. Upstairs, the well-proportioned 2nd floor offers 5 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, including a primary suite with a brick gas fireplace, ensuite, & adjacent walk-in closet with custom built-ins. 3rd floor bedroom and flexible rec room overlook Voigt Park, with generous attic storage. Outside, the fenced backyard unfolds as a lush, private oasis—bursting with vibrant perennials, a serene goldfish pond, a spacious deck, brick patio, charming stone walls, & unique antique tile accents. Detached 2-car garage & full basement enhance the home's functionality. Just minutes from New Center, Milwaukee Junction & Downtown. Surrounded by local favs like The Congregatio
