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.
