Opportunity meets location at 17222 Detroit Street, Detroit, MI 48224: a 3-bed, 1-bath single-family home with clear value-add path for buy-and-hold investors who want a straightforward fix-and-rent project. Around the corner from the famous Cadieux Cafe, this is the kind of neighborhood address that supports long-term rental demand once the home is brought back to life.
Inside, the 3-bedroom layout offers flexibility for tenant appeal or personal use, with space that can be configured for comfortable daily living, work-from-home needs, or added storage. The 1-bath footprint keeps renovations focused and efficient, and the 1,000 estimated sq ft size strikes a practical balance: large enough to feel livable, streamlined enough to control holding costs and scope. This property needs some love, but that is exactly where the upside lives, restore it, refresh it, and position it as a clean, classic Detroit rental or a personalized home you can make your own.
Out back, the 3,223 sq ft lot size gives you outdoor breathing room without creating a maintenance-heavy burden. Think simple yard improvements that photograph well, support everyday enjoyment, and add curb appeal that helps attract and retain tenants.
What truly sets this address apart is the immediate area: a great neighborhood feel with the added draw of being near Cadieux Cafe, a local name that helps anchor the location in a way that out-of-area renters and buyers recognize. When you combine that nearby destination with a single-family footprint and a renovation-ready starting point, you get a property that is positioned for long-term hold strategy, renovate, stabilize, and let the neighborhood do its part over time.
If you have been waiting for a Detroit single-family you can improve and then rent out with confidence in the location, 17222 Detroit Street is ready for your plan, reach out to schedule a showing and take the next step toward turning this fixer into a performing asset.
