Step into the charm and potential of this classic 1917 Detroit bungalow, offering just over 1,500 square feet of living space on a .09-acre lot, plus an adjacent vacant .09-acre parcel included in the sale. This property presents a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a piece of Detroit history while benefiting from additional land next door.
The home features the solid bones and timeless character typical of early 20th-century construction, with a layout that provides ample space for renovation and customization. With the right vision and updates, this bungalow can be transformed into a standout residence or investment property.
The included vacant lot offers endless possibilities—expand outdoor living space, create a garden, build an additional structure (buyer to verify), or hold for future development.
This property is ideal for investors, renovators, or owner-occupants looking to bring a home to its full potential.
