One of the grand beauties along Chicago Blvd., this stately center entrance classic brick colonial has three 3rd floor dormers and a grand covered front entry. The majesty of this home is seen in its over 3,300 sq. ft., large tiled fireplace with a carved wooden mantel, and interior french doors. The large home features 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms - many with original tiling and fixtures, and a detached garage.
The property is in an ideal location, conveniently situated just west of the Lodge freeway in the historic Boston Edison district. Things that need replacing include doors, windows, 2 porches, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, kitchen, bathrooms and extensive drywall. The basement needs a complete extraction and the exterior needs tuck pointing and repair of siding. The Detroit Land Bank recently replaced the roof, gutters, and downspouts. Please also note that purchasers are responsible for the current year (2014) property taxes at the time of closing.
Please note that the rehab cost will often cost more than the winning bid price. Failure to bring a property up to code within 6 months will result in forfeiture of property (9 months for historic properties). Auction dates are subject to change. Check the site regularly to be aware of any schedule changes.
