A charming American Four Square-style brick duplex, this spacious 1920 home sits immediately north of the Boston Edison historic district, in the Petosky-Otsego community. Just two blocks from Durfee Elementary-Middle School, and Central Collegiate Academy, this two unit home offers a convenient location just minutes from Voigt Park, the M-10 freeway, and Hamtramck and New Center shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations. With an exterior that boasts a full covered porch, a second floor balcony, traditional pediment, and a sweeping lawn on a striking corner lot, this home holds immense curb appeal potential. Inside, the purchaser will find hardwood floors, intact original historic woodwork, large brick fireplaces, built-in bookcases, and large banks of sunny windows. The purchaser should expect to complete many repairs, including floor replacement, door and window repair, plasterwork, and kitchen and bathroom overhauls, among other repairs.
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.
