Inside the massive Detroit mansion once owned by Kmart founder S. S. Kresge 

Simply beautiful, they don't make them like this anymore. I would take this over any new build.

I sure to miss my K-marts!! Used to go to my little 'dime store' Kresge's back in the day too. I'm 73, but when I was 16 and attended the Grand Opening of the very FIRST K-mart on Ford Rd. in Garden City, Mi in 1962 - I won a $$ Money Tree with $50.00 on it - from the Sidewalk Sale. WOW.... That was a lot of money for a teenager or anyone back in 62'. That store has been razed when it SHOULD have been saved as part of Garden City and World history. It should have been the LAST store to close... since it was FIRST to open. How sad. :-) . Thankyou S. S. Kresge for you vision........and LOVE your beautiful home too. ** K-Mart was MY saving place; now I have nowhere to shop.

I worked for Kmart for 17 years (Manager in the store and HQ).....Very good people I met there....sad how the company ended....

*Gorgeous. A home/estate so large and luxurious with such a cozy feel❣️* I love everything about it. What a labor of love for that couple to invest 25 years into! 🙏🏽💗💎

Wow... !!! My best friend, thanks to you, I enjoyed watching... I'm proud of you for developing day by day.

I used to live in Grosse Pointe Farms and in Birmingham and I know that area where that helps its there's a lot of nice homes on that street with famous histories. I have to say though it's so sad what certain groups of people have done to the surrounding areas

Beautiful ❤️

Beautiful home, terrible choice for the soundtrack.

Kresge donated to the National Gallery of Art a large collection of Old Master paintings, mostly from the Italian Renaissance.

Music is oppressive had to mute it from the start

Such amazing architecture in Detroit - the Boston Edison neighborhood has mansions that put Toronto's Rosedale to SHAME! Granted, this particular house looks awkward from the backside but, the front façade is absolutely regal and the interiors splendid. I am glad that the furniture and interior design reflect the original era of the home - the nearby Chartles T Fisher mansion has recently been refurbished by the Detroit Design Showcase and the interiors now look awful - too modern, original features (such as the foyer chandelier) removed ... the essence of a 1920's house destroyed!

Homes of the same caliber in other parts of the country do not even have original interiors like this.

@MLive if I by it do they remove all the art and furniture?

I would love to do an editorial fashion photo shoot in this! Who do I need to contact to make that happen??

For the size of this home it still looks like it would be quite comfortable to live in ....

The building quality back then was amazing. Wet plaster walls throughout etc…

that house anywhere else would have been $20MM

What is the thing in the corner of the dining room at 1:28? A hand washing station that looks like a baby baptismal font? On the left towards the center of the screen.

This my home, im not even sure kmart is from Detroit.

You should see Kresge's place in the Poconos. He has a real nice home here, too.

WOW

my friend live in that now

❤

Someone said Eminem moved into the Kmart Mansion but I think they are wrong... unless the two people who restored it are designers or architects and not the people living there

Gorgeous place....but god awful music accompanying the tour...

To old fashioned looking would be spooky to be here alone at night

Where is the founder of k mart living now? Any kids? Why selling too? The music is lousy

Incredibly GORGEOUS house! Incredibly STUPID music!

Problem is its in Detroit

Really annoying music---Why????

the music is just HORRIBLE. classical music would have been better

The style of this music is inappropriate to the elegant video content. Do we really need someone going “OHHHH” over disc-scratching noises ?

The problem is the next block over it looks like a bomb was dropped. Been here many times.

I hope this horrendous music that they are playing is not an indication that this beautiful piece of architecture is about to be ghetto trashed

you will need an army of security guards to live in that neighbourhood now

Good luck 🤞🍀 with the up keep. 😅

Some of it looks kind of like Kmart

Who picks this lame and inappropriate music loop?

Awful music

Fabulous house but it’s SSSSSSTILL on the market years later. I’ve been in the entire house years ago. It was for sale for 8 million or so years ago and now it’s down to 3 even. Hope it sells for that or more. But I don’t think it will. 🤯
