Victorian home in Detroit’s Corktown with baseball history on sale for nearly $2M

If you want to dine in the same room where Tigers icon Ty Cobb was a dinner guest, this Victorian gem in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood is a must-see.

Steeped in baseball history, the estate was designed by renowned architect Harry J. Rill, also known for his work on many Catholic churches in Michigan. In the early 1900s, it was owned by James Burns, the first owner of the MLB Detroit Tigers as the team joined the pros.

As one of the largest grand Victorians in Corktown, this residence boasts four bedrooms and two full baths, all with beautiful original wood floors. Additional features include a wrap-around front porch, leaded glass windows, three original brick fireplaces, a spacious attic, and a grand staircase.

Even better, the sale includes a multi-family duplex on the same lot. Each level of the duplex offers three bedrooms and one bath, providing buyers with the opportunity to rent out the duplex to help cover the mortgage on the historic home.
