About This Home
Welcome to the iconic Frank Navin House, a rare historic estate located in Detroit’s renowned Boston-Edison Historic District. Built in 1906 and once home to Frank Navin, former owner of the Detroit Tigers, this extraordinary residence blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. Original details include stunning woodwork, hewn beams, intricate moldings, grand fireplaces, expansive entertaining spaces, and a unique basement vault tied to the history of Navin Field. Recent improvements include a new boiler (2020), updated radiator valves, replacement basement boiler piping, asbestos removal from boiler lines, and a completely redone sewer line in 2026. Both second-floor full baths have been tastefully renovated, and second-floor laundry adds modern convenience. The attic is prepped and ready for conversion into an additional bedroom, primary suite, or flexible living space, with a new sub-panel and plumbing access already in place.
Additional highlights include storm windows, a detached two-car garage with chauffeur’s suite above, and a rare side parcel featuring a fenced yard and private bocce court. Featured in Woodward Throwbacks: Home Interiors, this one-of-a-kind legacy property is just minutes from downtown Detroit and New Center.
