Property Description
Opportunity awaits with this charming historic Colonial situated on a desirable corner lot in Detroit. Filled with original character and architectural details, this home offers a great foundation for a buyer looking to add their own finishing touches and bring its full potential to life. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1 half bath, along with an updated kitchen that blends modern improvements with the home's classic style. Some areas of the property still need finishing and TLC, making this a great opportunity for someone who appreciates historic homes and isn't afraid of a little work. The third-floor attic area offers additional potential and could be finished as an extension of the primary bedroom, office, dressing room, or bonus living space. Outside, the backyard has a unique courtyard feel with an old pond that could be restored into a beautiful focal point. A detached 2-car garage provides additional parking and storage. With its historic charm, spacious layout, corner-lot setting, and room for further improvements, this property offers an exciting opportunity to create something truly special.
