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. Though a well-built home in a solid state, the purchaser should plan on making many repairs, including exterior masonry repairs, plasterwork and painting, kitchen and bathroom overhauls, and roof repair over the porch, among other improvements.
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.
