I recently spent the day scoping the work for the rehab of this gorgeous Tudor styled Boston Edison Home. Doing a little web research, I learned that the home was formerly owned by Bishop Marshall R. Reed. In 1948, he was appointed Bishop of Detroit, a post where he served until 1964.

The home's amenities include seven (7) bedrooms, three (3) full bathrooms, two (2) half bathrooms, hardwood floors, original plaster crown moldings, two (2) fireplaces, the original trash incinerator, a stone patio adjacent a sun room, a basement recreation room and of course attic servants quarters. The best amenity, however, is what we call the Fountain Room (see below).
Can't wait to see the work begin.
