Can there be such a thing as too many fireplaces in a home? This one has six.
The home in at 1075 Burns in Detroit's Indian Village is being listed on Redfin for $650,000.
Robin Runyan of Curbed Detroit writes:
The house was originally built in 1890 and sat at Jefferson and Jos Campau. The owner, Walter Russel, an engineer and owner of Russel Wheel & Foundry, designed the house. Several doorknobs around the house are shaped as wheels as a reminder of his source of wealth, and the iron work and port cochere decorating the exterior have been claimed to be made in his foundry. In 1920-21, the house was disassembeled, carefully numbered, and rebuilt in reverse.
When rebuilt, the Russels took advantage of the construction to make a few tweaks to the interior, but the exterior became a mirror image.
