An imposing Tudor style house, this property is located among the distinctive and historic architecture of Detroit’s Bagley neighborhood and features the steeply pitched rooflines, overlapping gables, massive chimney, and fine craftsmanship of that style and period. Particularly striking is the intentionally rough hewn exterior brickwork - known as skintled brickwork - which lends the house a sense of the rustic, while exhibiting the impressive craftsmanship of its construction.
Built in 1926, the house contains 5 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and 2 half baths over 3 stories and is conveniently located just moments away from the burgeoning Livernois Corridor, newly-constructed Mumford High School, beautiful Palmer Park, and highly-regarded University of Detroit Jesuit High School . Alongside such historic details as arched interior doorways and casement windows, visitors will find more recent improvements including a gold-painted toilet bowl, fireplace, and ceiling. Purchasers should plan on making extensive repairs and improvements to the property including kitchen and bathroom overhauls, roofing repairs, and remediation of any interior water damage.
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.
