From its perch on a tree-lined street along the periphery of the historic Russell Woods community, this charming duplex boasts convenient access to M-10 and I-96, the University of Detroit Mercy, Central Collegiate Academy, and the resurgent Avenue of Fashion commercial district.
The exterior catches the eye with a handsome bank of ribbon windows, an elaborate brick arch over the entrance, a full covered porch, and leaded glass windows. Inside, visitors will find hand plastered moldings and arches, a spartan historic fireplace, decorative plaster details, four sunny bedrooms, and two full bathrooms.
Purchasers should plan on making a range of repairs to the property, and bidders are strongly encouraged to review the attached Pre-Sale Inspection Report for more detail. Please also note that the purchaser will be responsible for paying real property taxes assessed against the Property from July 1, 2014 and all future years.
Finally, please note that any discounts on the purchase will be granted at the time of closing on the sale. The purchaser will be charged $1,000.00 upon winning the bid, regardless of any discounts.
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.
