Renovated Duplex with Updated Exterior - Great Investment Opportunity!
**Please note: The home has not been fully cleaned out. Use caution when touring the interior.
Please note that this home is located within the City of Detroit Historic District, which is governed by the Detroit Historic District Commission (DHDC). As such, all exterior renovations including window replacements, must receive formal DHDC approval and comply with historic preservation standards.
The Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) previously received DHDC approval to install clad casement windows in the Russell Woods properties. Documentation of that approval, along with prior window pricing, is available in the property’s documents section for reference.
However, please be advised that pricing may have changed since the time of DLBA’s installation.
We recommend reaching out to window vendors directly for updated cost estimates and submitting a DHDC application for approval prior to proceeding with any window replacements.
This is your chance to own a piece of Detroit’s architectural heritage with endless potential. Investors welcome!
This spacious multi-family home features two units-upper and lower-each offering 3 bedrooms and 1, bathroom. The exterior has been beautifully renovated with a brand-new roof, soffits, gutters, balcony, porch with new steps, and updated railings. Interior updates are ready for your personal touch, making this a perfect opportunity for investors or homeowners looking to add value!
