Behind this property’s handsome red brick exterior, visitors will find a well-maintained home full of charming and attractive features. The house’s white walls and large windows create a cheerful and light-filled environment, and visitors will be struck by the property’s hardwood floors, in-built shelving, arched doorways, and distinctive central fireplace. Colorful tiling on the bathroom walls and arched ceilings above the bathtubs add to the property’s appeal, as do the rear sunroom and detached 2-car garage in the backyard.
Located in Detroit’s Bagley neighborhood, the house sits on a quiet street nestled among a range of other historic homes. Just moments away are the shopping and dining options of Livernois Avenue and the recreation opportunities of Palmer Park. Newly-constructed Mumford High School, University of Detroit, Mercy, Marygrove College, and the M-10 expressway are also nearby. While the house is in solid condition, the purchaser should prepare to make repairs and renovations to the property, including repairs to the kitchen, among other fixes.
Please see the presale inspection report for more detail. Please note that the purchaser will also be 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.
