I grew up very near this house and knew some folks who lived there, so I've been in there. As I remember it, the inside of the house is really beautiful, with a lot of dark wood paneling, arts & crafts tilework [[Pewabic?), and lovely plasterwork. It's also really huge; much larger than it initially appears from the street or the little entry door that opens onto Vernor.
