Property Description
Opportunity in one of Detroit’s historic subdivisions—ideal for an investor seeking a light-to-moderate project or a buyer ready to personalize their next home. This property has already undergone a significant transformation, having been taken down to the studs and reconfigured to better suit modern living, with improved use of space and functionality. Much of the heavy work has been started, allowing the next owner to complete the renovation efficiently while adding their own finishing touches. Seller will be doing some more work to the home prior to closing. The exterior showcases strong curb appeal with a grand entry, spacious brick paver front porch, and a distinctive combination of stone, stucco, and brick siding that reflects the character of the neighborhood. Additional potential exists in the attic space, offering an opportunity to create a bonus room, home office, or play area and further increase overall value. Located just minutes from Henry Ford Hospital, TechTown, New Center, Wayne State University, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Michigan Science Center, this property is well-positioned for both resale and long-term ownership. A solid opportunity to build equity in an area in demand of Detroit. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
