Built in 1925, this Tudor-style home features front-facing double gables, a brick first-floor exterior, and inviting front porch. The purchaser of the house will also gain the vacant parcel immediately to the north (323 Eastlawn), providing the purchaser with a sidelot perfect for a garden, play structure, or larger yard.
Entering the home, one is drawn in by the brick fireplace and carved wooden mantel. Bungalow-style windows on either side of the fireplace, along with an expansive window, allow plenty of natural light. The fairly open floor plan flows from room to room, with wood floors throughout much of the house. On the second floor of the nearly 1,000 square foot home, purchasers will find 4 large bedrooms and a full bath, along with original details including cove ceilings and wooden window frames and doors. One might create a small office or reading nook in the cozy space occupying one of the front gables.
The property's location just moments from three riverfront parks - Alfred Ford, Riverfront Lakewood, and Maheras-Gentry Park - the burgeoning East Jefferson commercial corridor, and the Grosse Pointe border enhance the house's appeal. Along with several other repairs within the house, the kitchen and bathroom will need to be overhauled. For a more detailed list of necessary repairs, please review the attached presale inspection report.

COLLUSION (BID-RIGGING) IN AN AUCTION IS A CRIME
Collusion between bidders in a DLBA auction, which is also known as “bid-rigging,” is a type of fraud and a violation of Federal antitrust laws. The DLBA takes the integrity of its auctions very seriously and bid-rigging is unfair to competing bidders and, ultimately, to the people of the City of Detroit. If the DLBA finds evidence of collusion in an auction, it reserves the right and will not hesitate to, as appropriate, reject specific bids, cancel an entire auction (in each case keeping the deposits or downpayments of the colluding parties), and/or pursue criminal prosecution of the parties involved to the fullest extent of the law.
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.
