Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 3-unit home is currently configured as a triplex with two finished rental units and a lower level that has been gutted and is ready for a custom design. Unit #2 (second floor) includes two bedrooms, two full baths, a large living room, a dining area, and an updated kitchen with hardwood floors. Unit #3 (third floor) features a living room, kitchen and dining space, a full bath, and one bedroom. Historic details are preserved, including original hardwood floors and a fireplace on the main floor.

The property sits on a deep 60 x 157 lot with a backyard that includes gardens, fruit trees, and a rain barrel setup. Alley-access contributes to the property’s character, supported by a 5-car garage accessed from the alley. The home is located in Detroit’s West Village area, and public remarks indicate it is within walking distance of restaurants, bistros, the Detroit Riverfront, and multiple parks.

For tenants and owner-occupants, the layout provides income potential while also offering flexibility through the unfinished entry level, which can be redesigned for additional rental income or adapted for a single-family conversion. An open house is scheduled for Sunday, July 12 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
