A full front porch welcomes you to this 1926 Bungalow-style gem.

A carved wood mantle and signature Bungalow-style windows add to the room’s historic charm. The home also features a separate dining room and a kitchen with original built-in cabinets and vintage farm style sink and drainboard. At 1,500 square feet in size, the property contains 4 well-lit bedrooms and 1 full bath, featuring subway and hexagonal tiles, a built-in medicine cabinet and original bathtub.

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.


By clicking proceed, you agree to a hold being placed on your credit card. The hold amount will be 10% of your maximum proxy bid, not to exceed $5,000.00. The winning bidder's credit card will be charged the hold amount and is non-refundable. The balance of the winning bid will be due at closing. If you are not the winning bidder, please allow 5-7 business days for the hold amount to be released.
