Located on a block of well-maintained houses in Detroit’s Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood, this Italian Renaissance-style house features a solid brick exterior, distinctive arched windows, and a striking cobblestone fireplace on each of its two stories. Leaded glass windows, in-built shelving, and an upstairs balcony enhance the home’s comfort and historic charm. Purchasers will also enjoy the company of caring neighbors who worked to look over the property in its vacancy.
The house’s location just blocks from the Detroit River and riverfront parks adds to its appeal. Hansen Playground is kitty-corner to the property and highly-regarded Maheras-Gentry Park, the burgeoning East Jefferson commercial corridor, and Grosse Pointe border are just moments away.
Though most recently used as a single-family residence, the property is a duplex, featuring 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a kitchen on each level. Though in solid condition with many historic details intact, the purchaser should plan on carrying out a wide range of repairs and renovations on the property and should review the presale inspection report for more information.
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.
