Sitting just outside the storied Boston Edison district, this two-family home boasts a convenient location convenient access to Henry Ford Hospital, M-10, Durfee School, and New Center and Hamtramck dining and shopping destinations. Built in 1923, this charming 1,600 square foot home typifies the grace, diverse material composition, horizontal proportions, and craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts style. The exterior of the home is dominated by an imposing brick covered porch, a bank of ribbon windows, charming shudders, and the distinct eave brackets common of the style. On the inside, the purchaser will find hand plastered arches, an elaborate fireplace, hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, original woodwork, ornate intact plaster moldings, and a host of charmingly subtle architectural features, including a cast plaster telephone nook. Though well-built home with many beautiful features, the purchaser should expect to make many repairs, including window and door replacement, plaster repair and painting, and kitchen and bathroom overhauls.
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.
