THE ONLY PROBLEM IS IT’S IN DETROIT: Historic Mansion on the Market for $2.8mil

One of Detroit’s most opulent and historic mansions is on the market for $2.8 million.

The Hecker Smiley mansion sits with a parking garage on one side and a gas station on the other, a rose between two thorns, on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit.
