A rare glimpse inside...

The old Briggs mansion, Detroit, MI.   Need a spare bedroom?  This one has 11.  And 7 bathrooms.
Its current value is hard to pin down though Zillow pegs it as ranging from $225,000 to $465,000.

One of the Motor City's grandest manor houses has come on the market.  It was

built circa 1914 for carriage-maker-turned-auto-body-manufacturer Walter O. Briggs,

who by the way,  also owned the Detroit Tigers from 1920 until his death in 1952. 

(Can you say Briggs Stadium?)

This nearly 10,000 square-foot manse is located in the historic Boston-Edison District 

of Detroit.  For more details about one of the one of city's most  magnificent properties

(it's just down the block from Motown founder Berry Gordy's old residence, another
gem), click right

But wait, there's more...

In conjunction with the sale of the home, there's an estate sale this weekend, giving

the curious masses an excuse to weasel their way inside for a first-hand peek at

a bygone era of splendor and opulence...        .
