Step into Timeless Elegance in the Heart of Boston-Edison Discover this stately Georgian Revival home, once owned by Otto Kern of Detroit’s legendary Kern Department Store. Located in the prestigious Boston-Edison Historic District, this residence effortlessly combines historic charm with modern comfort. The home’s exterior boasts a classic clay tile roof, lush landscaping, and a tranquil backyard retreat with a deck and patio, perfect for outdoor gatherings. Inside, you'll find generously sized living spaces, including a formal dining room, an inviting living room with a marble fireplace, and a large music room — once home to Dr. Nellie Ebersole, music teacher and owner of Art Center Music School. The music room, which could serve as a family room, opens to a secluded screened porch, ideal for peaceful relaxation. Exquisite details like hardwood floors throughout, intricate crown moldings, and a spacious butler’s pantry showcase the home’s craftsmanship. Downstairs, a charming billiard room with exposed brick and hardwood floors adds character and a perfect space for entertaining. Boston-Edison offers an ideal location, with over 900 historic homes dating from 1905 to 1925.
