A historical and stunning honeymoon cottage dwelling along Detroit, Michigan is now listed on the market for an affordable price of $644.9K. The house is actually more of a mansion than a cottage, according to an article by Detroit Curbed.
This Indian Village jewel is owned by the famous couple Edsel and Eleanor Ford. It has six huge bedrooms which include a massive master suite with a sitting room. It also offers four bathrooms: a large bathroom and tub and separate shower, two bedrooms adjoined by a Jack and Jill bath, and the third bath that's being prepared for customization. The living space measures 5,500 square feet.
Based on the article of Zillow, the luxurious honeymoon property is perfectly located at 2171 Iroquois Street, Detroit, Michigan 48214. Henry Ford II and Benson Ford were born in this lavish home. The Edsel & Eleanor Ford Honeymoon Cottage House was where the Ford's used to live, up until their Grosse Pointe Home was completed.
The artistic designer of the beautiful property was the Detroit architect Leonard Willeke. The interior appearance of the house is made up of Pewabic tile, hardwood floors and claw foot tubs. The stenciling on cabinets was hand-painted by Eleanor Ford herself, including the cabinets in the maid's room.
Zillow also added that it is considered the only home in Michigan to possess a historic easement protecting the hand-molded sculpture, like the works of Alfred Nygard in the ceilings of the living and dining rooms. The place also has the first refrigerator made by the first snow melting system.
Let's also check the exterior beauty of the property. The ground was marvelously designed. It was accessorized with a bowling-green platform, pretty brick verandas, an enormous backyard, elegant landscaping, vases and a curvature drive that highlights one of the first driveway ice melting systems.
The huge garage could hold up to four cars. Walnut, oak and mahogany trees also add beauty to the garden.
