A stately two-unit Arts and Crafts-style home, this 1927 charmer holds untold potential. Although in need of extensive renovations, the home boasts untold character with an imposing Colonial-style dormer covering the porch and balcony, a distinctive mix of yellow and red bricks, numerous banks of ribbon windows, hand-plastered Tudor arches, expansive hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, ornate brick fireplaces, and classical brick and plaster details. Located near Dexter and Davison in the historic Russell Woods community, this grand duplex is on a strong block near Zussman Playground, Palmer Park, the University of Detroit Mercy, and both M-10 and I-96. The purchaser should plan on making many repairs to the masonry, balconies, windows, kitchens, bathrooms, and plasterwork, but will be rewarded with a stunning two unit home.
This listing is for both units of this duplex.
This property is in the local Russell Woods-Sullivan Historic District. Purchasers will need to obtain Detroit Historic District Commission approval for all major exterior improvements.
