Designed in 1913 by architect Charles E. Shippey for Elias H. Sellers, this stately Boston-Edison masterpiece enjoys a coveted position in the heart of the historic district, with prized Voigt Park frontage. Few homes so seamlessly marry historic preservation with rigorous modern updating — and this residence does both with exceptional grace. The main floor was thoughtfully laid out with the principles of Feng Shui in mind, creating an intuitive flow that feels both purposeful and serene. Magnificent original woodwork has been painstakingly restored, and historic character is evident at every turn — from exposed oak ceiling beams and stately wood moldings to a striking wood-burning fireplace that anchors the warm, inviting living room. The elegant dining room showcases beautiful Arts & Crafts oak built-ins, while sunlight pours generously through the formal living spaces throughout the day. Substantive, high-level improvements provide lasting peace of mind: a newer roof, boiler, and added structural support have all been completed while honoring the home's original integrity. Tasteful renovations extend to the kitchen and bathrooms, where modern appointments meet timeless aesthetics. Upstairs, the well-proportioned second floor offers four spacious bedrooms and three fully renovated baths, including a serene primary suite with a walk-in California Closet and an adjacent sitting room. A third-floor loft provides flexible space ideal as a fifth bedroom, home office, or bonus room. The home's more than 4,400 square feet unfold with effortless flow — equally suited to formal entertaining and everyday living. Eligible for the NEZ homestead 15 year property tax abatement program through the city of Detroit. Professionally landscaped grounds, a detached two-car garage, and a full basement round out this exceptional offering.

Built in 1921, 841 W Boston is a refined Mediterranean Revival set on one of Boston Edison’s most architecturally consistent blocks. White stucco, red clay tile roof, and a limestone entry with pilasters create a strong, formal presence, framed by mature landscaping and Japanese maples. Inside, a marble foyer opens to a dramatic stair with wrought iron balustrade, wood handrail, and brass accents, leading to a gallery-style upper landing with statement chandelier. The main level offers large, well-scaled rooms with original millwork, crown molding, and casement windows, anchored by a carved marble fireplace with updated wood-burning insert, along with a standout sunroom wrapped in original Pewabic tile and natural wood trim. The kitchen is fully renovated with a Bertazzoni range, marble waterfall island, custom cabinetry, brass hardware, and butler’s pantry, opening to a bright breakfast nook. The second floor includes four bedrooms, including a primary suite with arched French doors, along with two full and one half bath, including a preserved period tile bath. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a large-scale flex space currently configured as a media and recreation room. The first floor includes a speakeasy-style entertaining space with exterior access. The grounds offer a deep, fully usable lawn and a defined brick patio for outdoor living, while a fully rebuilt carriage house functions as a separate residence with its own kitchen, bath, and bedroom, supported by a multi-zone mini-split system. Recent improvements include full landscaping, complete carriage house renovation, exterior stucco repair and repainting, underground sprinkler system installation, and roof tile repairs, completing a clean, intact example of Mediterranean Revival architecture with scale and presence.
