About this home
Rare opportunity to acquire a significant piece of Detroit history with this offering of the historic Kirn Mansion --- later home to Stanley Kresge, within the highly desirable Arden Park-East Boston Edison neighborhood. With nearly 10,000 square feet of magnificent living spaces, the property offers ample area for all one's housing and entertainment needs! The mansion provides 7 bedrooms, inclusive of an expansive primary suite made up of a gigantic bedroom, a huge dressing room, an oversized sleeping porch with private outdoor balcony/terrace and a large restored and updated bathroom with a new marble stroll-in shower. 3 additional bathrooms service the remaining bedrooms. The public spaces include huge living and dining rooms, a spectacular library with lavish leaded glass quartersawn oak bookcases, a vast sunroom with incredible art-tiled flooring, a large bright and welcoming breakfast nook, an invaluable Butler's pantry and a wonderfully-preserved open kitchen...plus an extravagant ballroom and billiard room below. There is also a large full carriage house apartment above the oversized 3-car garage, which still showcases its original carriage doors, all situated on a professionally landscaped and manicured lot. The originality of this remarkable property stands out most, as seen in its original hardware, elaborate woodwork, decorative plasterwork, fixtures, mantles, frescoes and more, while accompanying thoughtful, practical updates like new flat roofing, the new boiler for the main house and new forced air heating and air conditioning in the carriage house...all making this a truly special opportunity not to be missed!!

How it compares in Detroit
Over the last 90 days, 1,214 homes sold in Detroit for a median of $99,950, about $71 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 29 days. This home is listed at $1,350,000, or $122 per square foot, 72% above the city median, and has been on the market 1 day. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Detroit sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $4,229 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $4,076 to $43,758 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 64.18 mills for Detroit City and Detroit schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
