With a distinctive side-gabled gambrel roof, full porch, eyebrow pediment, front ribbon window, shake exterior, and full porch, this handsome 1924 duplex exemplifies the charm and grace of the Dutch Colonial style. Inside, visitors will find a beautiful brick fireplace, basket handle plaster arches, wall-to-wall hardwood floors, six sunny bedrooms, and two spacious bathrooms. Located in the historic Russell Woods community, this spacious home is near both M-10 and I-96, Zussman Playground, Palmer Park, and the University of Detroit Mercy. Though a well-built home, the purchaser should expect to make many repairs, including plaster and window repair, bathroom overhaul, porch renovation, and extensive landscaping, among other repairs.
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.
