Located in Detroit’s Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood, this impressive two-family house features an upper and lower unit, each with 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Built in 1919, the property features a solid brick exterior, attractive full-front porch, and large bay windows. Hardwood floors, styled doorways, in-built cabinets, and extensive wood detailing add to the warmth and elegance of the house’s interior. Long summer days can be spent on either of the home’s porches, as both units feature a front and back porch.
Purchasers will also enjoy the home’s location near several highly-regarded riverfront parks as well as the retail and restaurant options on Jefferson Avenue and in Grosse Pointe. While solidly-built, the duplex will need significant repairs, including bathroom and kitchen overhauls and repairs to the walls, among others. Please consult the presale inspection report for a more comprehensive list of necessary repairs. 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.
