A striking home just blocks from the Detroit River, this distinctive Colonial Revival-style house features a solid brick exterior, gabled dormers, grand fireplace, and tree-shaded backyard. Built in 1921, the house combines historic grandeur with riverfront access, offering a unique and compelling opportunity to the purchaser.

At 3500 square feet in size, this property includes 3 bedrooms and 1 and a half baths over three levels, in addition to a wide range of common spaces, from large living or dining rooms on either side of the entryway to light-filled sunrooms on the first and second floors.

The home’s location just down the street from two riverfront parks – Alfred Ford and Riverfront Lakewood – as well as its close proximity to highly-regarded Maheras-Gentry Park, the burgeoning East Jefferson commercial corridor, and the Grosse Pointe border heighten its appeal. 

Purchasers should plan on making a range of repairs to the property, and bidders are strongly encouraged to review the attached Inspection/Condition Report for more detail. Please also note that at closing the purchaser will be responsible for paying all properly-assessed property taxes not otherwise exempt pursuant to the statutory authority of the Detroit Land Bank.

Finally, please note that any discounts on the purchase (i.e. the city employee discount); will be granted at the time of closing on the sale. The purchaser will be charged $1,000.00 upon winning the bid, regardless of any discounts.
