Built in 1928, this beautiful two-story home features a solid brick exterior and distinctive front-gabled entryway. Entering the property, one finds substantial wood detailing and, at the end of the room, a striking stone fireplace. Sunlight, softened by the leaves of the trees outside, enters through the large front windows, falling gently on the house’s hardwood floors. A separate dining room, cove ceilings, and an original plaster molding adds to the interior’s charm. At more than 1000 square feet in size, the house contains 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath, in addition to ample storage space in the basement. Located in Detroit’s Boynton neighborhood, the property also benefits from its proximity to Kemeny Recreation Center, the I-75 expressway, and the shopping and dining options of neighboring Southwest Detroit neighborhoods and Downriver communities. The purchaser should plan on carrying out numerous repairs and renovations, including an overhaul of the house’s kitchen and bathroom and repairs to the flooring, among others.
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.
