Native Detroiter here. It was always understood that these large and magnificent homes in the Boston-Edison area are beasts to heat, so combine that with the incredible updating and landscaping on view here, wow! Whoever did the maintenance and re modeling should get some kind of award. So impressive!

It’s an incredible house with an incredible past, unfortunately, I believe the more recent past is extremely sad. I wonder if it is sold yet , it’s an absolutely magnificent property and the price is really quite amazing considering the craftsmanship and the quality and the condition.

Even original homes left standing in Grosse Pointe don't have interiors this detailed.

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

Ohhhhhhhh YES, they do. You're woefully ignorant about Grosse Pointe historic homes & mansions.
