Timeless Two-Family Treasure | Steps from Boston-Edison, 1536 Glynn Ct. Offered for the first time in generations, this beautifully preserved Colonial Revival two-family flat is located just one block from the renowned Boston-Edison Historic District, within the same tight-knit community celebrated for its architectural heritage and strong neighborhood identity. Each residence spans approximately 1,500 square feet, offering spacious layouts filled with original character: hardwood floors, plaster walls, classic millwork, and vintage light fixtures. The first-floor unit features one full bath, while the second-floor unit includes two full baths, along with a sunlit enclosed porch on each level—ideal for morning coffee or quiet reflection. A rare investment or multi-generational living opportunity, this property also features separate basements, separate utilities, and a two-car detached garage. Recent upgrades include a newer roof and windows, and both units are lead-certified and carry valid City of Detroit rental inspection certificates, offering peace of mind for both owner-occupants and investors. This home represents a true architectural time capsule, lovingly maintained and ready for its next chapter. Just minutes from Midtown, New Center, and the cultural corridor, opportunities like this are exceedingly rare. Own a piece of Detroit’s architectural soul—steps from Boston-Edison.
