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. Though a great deal of historic detail remains, the purchaser should prepare to make numerous repairs and renovations to the property, including replacing flooring, making repairs to walls and plumbing, and completing bathroom and kitchen overhauls, among others. Please see the attached presale inspection of longer list of necessary repairs to the property.
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.
