A truly striking property, this beautiful Craftsman-style home features the low-pitched roof, wide eave overhangs, and tapered square columns characteristic of the style. Visitors may note the influence of Japanese architecture in its design.
The expansive front porch and widely-spaced columns allow for unimpeded views from the house’s front windows, while providing a comfortable place to view the activity in this friendly community. Entering the house, visitors will find a grand brick fireplace, hardwood floors, and historic wood detailing, along with 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a sunroom.
The house is located just blocks from calming waters of the Detroit River and recreation opportunities of Alfred Ford and Riverfront Lakewood Parks. Highly-regarded Maheras-Gentry Park, burgeoning East Jefferson commercial corridor, and the Grosse Pointe border are also close by, adding to the property’s appeal. While a beautiful house in solid condition, the purchaser should plan and making many repairs to the property, including a bathroom overhaul and new flooring in some places, among other fixes. Please review the presale inspection report for a broader list of necessary repairs. Please also note that purchasers are responsible for the current year (2014) property taxes at the time of closing.
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.
