Historic Detroit Luxury Can Be Yours! Inside the $3.2M Kresge Mansion

Step back in time to one of Detroit's most storied neighborhoods and imagine yourself living in a piece of history. A grand estate, built in 1914 by Sebastian S. Kresge, the visionary founder of the S.S. Kresge department stores is now on the market for $3.2 million.

Located at 70 W. Boston Blvd. in the prestigious Boston-Edison neighborhood, this 15,000-square-foot mansion is nothing short of spectacular. With 14 bedrooms, and six full and three half baths, this estate exudes the kind of opulence and attention to detail that defined an era. Imagine hosting gatherings in one of the 10 gas fireplace-adorned rooms or serving a feast from your very own elegant dining room with a butler's pantry.

The sprawling four-acre property offers more than just living space; it's a private retreat. The estate is the first off of Woodward and takes up two-thirds of that block and is believed to be the city of Detroit's largest residential lot.

The estate even features two carriage houses, a music room, a library, a game room & stunning solarium. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the garages equipped with car lifts, providing indoor storage for up to nine vehicles, a true rarity in historic homes. The Owner's Suite & In-Law Suite include a kitchenette for even more privacy.

This home isn't just a mansion; it's a testament to Detroit's rich history. Kresge, who passed away in 1966 at the age of 99, left behind a legacy that lives on, not only in this stunning property but also in the evolution of his company. His company was renamed the Kmart Corporation in 1977 making his vision one of the 20th century's largest discount retail organizations.
