This spacious second-floor walk-up offers 1,400 square feet across three bedrooms and one bathroom, with a layout that feels far bigger than the bedroom count suggests. A classic brick facade with dormer windows and a welcoming front porch sets the tone at street level, leading up to a bright, sun-filled living room anchored by a brick fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and a wall of French doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking the tree-lined street. The primary bedroom impresses with a coffered ceiling, wainscoting, and an oversized bay window, while the additional bedrooms offer great natural light and original hardwood floors throughout. A butler's pantry with built-in cabinetry connects the kitchen to the dining area, and the unit retains handsome period details crown molding, radiator heat, and vintage hardware balanced with a functional kitchen and updated bath. Heat, water, and trash are all included in the $1,495/month rent, keeping monthly costs simple and predictable.
Tucked just south of Detroit's historic Boston Edison neighborhood, 1651 Atkinson puts residents within walking distance of two architectural landmarks: the Congregation Coffee Shop and the Rectory, both neighborhood anchors. The surrounding streets are ideal for leisurely walks, lined with grand early-20th-century homes and mature trees that define the character of both Boston Edison and Virginia Park. The location also offers easy access to New Center and Milwaukee Junction, putting residents close to some of Detroit's fastest-growing commercial and creative hubs without sacrificing the quiet of a residential street. Parking is convenient, with easy street parking directly on Atkinson and additional off-street parking available behind the building for an extra monthly fee.
Heat, water and trash services included in rent. Tenants responsible for electricity. This property is managed by Century Partners and listed by Douglas Rose Realty.
