Property Description
Dine in the same room where Detroit Tigers icon Ty Cobb was a dinner guest. Welcome to 1801 Church Street, a Victorian gem designed & built by renowned architect Harry J. Rill. In the early 1900s, this home was owned and occupied by James Burns who was the first owner of the MLB Detroit Tigers. This grand Victorian residence, one of the largest in Corktown, features 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths, all adorned with beautiful original wood floors. Enjoy your mornings on the expansive wrap-around front porch, or admire the exquisite architectural details, like leaded glass windows, original brick fireplaces, and the grand staircase. Bring your guests to the sitting room and enjoy pre-dinner drinks by one of three fireplaces. If dining out is more your style, Corktown’s vibrant restaurant scene is just a short walk away on Michigan Avenue! 2nd floor hallway stairs leads to the attic which measures a whopping 37 X 15! Opportunity to create a unique, spacious recreation space or large master bedroom with awesome views of downtown Detroit Located just a couple blocks to restaurants and entertainment on Michigan Avenue and a short few minute stroll to Ford Motor Company’s Mobility Headquarters (Michigan Central); 1801 Church Street sits in the heart of Corktown. Known as the “front porch” to Downtown Detroit, Corktown is the oldest and coolest neighborhood in Detroit!
