Built in 1922, this charming Bungalow features ribbon windows, wood detailing, and an impressive full-front sun porch, perfect for visiting with friends and neighbors. The auction listing includes the vacant parcel immediately to the south of the house (674 Algonquin); along with the house itself, providing the purchaser with a sidelot ideal for a garden, garage, or simply a larger yard.
Stepping inside the house, visitors will be struck by the handsome brick fireplace framed by in-built shelving and windows on either side of the chimney. Wide entryways create an open layout and a spacious kitchen adds to the property’s appeal. At nearly 1,000 square feet, the property contains 1 bathroom and 2 bedrooms, both featuring wood floors and plenty of natural light.
The house’s location just blocks from several riverfront parks and close by the burgeoning Jefferson Avenue shopping area and Grosse Point border makes this home all the more attractive. While in solid condition, many renovations will be necessary and potential buyers should review the presale inspection report for more information. 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.
