Wonderful opportunity to be part of the Detroit Renaissance! Located in the New Center Area, minutes from Downtown-Midtown & less than a block from the M1-Rail. This solid, partially-renovated Historic home is well-constructed. The roof is completely rebuilt & shingled w/architectural shingles along w/original cedar shake in the peaks. The front porch is totally rebuilt to its original design. Many of the original features, including woodwork & ceramic, were saved during the restoration. The staircase is beautiful & unpainted. Most of the ornate moldings & formal wood panels are still in place. Your creativity will be challenged to enhance features like a third-floor natural fireplace & the addition of another full bath. The heating system has been converted into GFA. The electrical panel has been updated. This is an AS-IS sale. Buyer assumes all current conditions. Administrative Fee: $295. This house, according to rumor, was once occupied by the notorious Purple Gang.
