Welcome to 7870 Forest Street - a rare opportunity in the heart of downtown Dexter. Nestled on one of the most charming streets in town, this property puts you steps from everything Dexter has to offer. Forest Street is lined with classic Arts and Crafts homes and exudes the kind of character you simply can't manufacture. It is quiet, walkable, and in the heart of it all. The previous owner updated several key systems including drywall, electrical, insulation and more, giving your renovation a head start. Pop the top and add a second story. Vault the ceilings in the main living area for a dramatic open feel. Renovate and rent. Or scrape and build something entirely new on this extra deep 50x198 lot with a private backyard. The possibilities are as wide as your imagination. Either path lands you in a premium downtown location that rarely comes available. Bring your vision. The canvas is yours.
