Behind this Tudor-style home’s distinctive brickwork and welcoming front porch, visitors will find a sizable 2-unit property, featuring a fireplace and kitchen in each of its two levels. With casement windows, original moldings, a back balcony, and large backyard, this property presents a great deal of historic charm and attractive opportunity to the purchaser, who might live in one unit while renting out the other. Built in 1929, the property is 2,100 square feet in size and features 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths between its 2 units.
The house’s location on a quiet block of Detroit’s Bagley neighborhood - a hidden gem in the city - adds to its appeal. The highly-regarded University of Detroit, newly-constructed Mumford High School, and the M-10 expressway are all near by, with the dining and shopping options of Livernois Avenue and recreation opportunities of Palmer Park just moments away.
While in solid condition, the purchaser should plan on making a range of repairs to the property, including kitchen and bathroom overhauls, among other renovations. Please consult the presale inspection report for more information. Please also note that the purchaser will be 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.
