The Back Story: In October of 2011 I began house hunting in Detroit and the surrounding neighborhoods such as Palmer Park, Green Acers, and Indian Village. My Realtor took me on a lovely adventure within the city where I was shown lovely old homes, and some home that unfortunately were now shells of their former glory. I fell in love with a few beauties; an Arts and Crafts home on Virginia Park that was a time capsule form 1915 and a 1930's Limestone Fortress on Lamothe that still had bullet holes in the walls from the 1967 riots when the National Guard fired their tanks at the house!
Circumstances
prevented me from acquiring either of those homes, and I was very sad.
In December I had just about given up all house hunting hope when I was told a
deal feel through on a home in Boston Edison. I rushed over there to see the
house and It was a lovely Arts and Crafts home built in 1915. Very similar in
layout to the one on Virginia Park (whom I wave to every time I drive past it
on the Lodge) but even more quirky and unique. I completely fell in love
instantly, this was it, my house!
