Overview

This historic brick two-family property was built in 1911 and is being sold as-is. The structure is approximately 2,382 square feet and presents a restoration opportunity for an investor, developer, or owner-occupant seeking to renovate and reimagine the home.

The address is in Detroit’s East Village area, with access to destinations along Kercheval Avenue and proximity to the riverfront and the Belle Isle Park area. Reported mobility metrics show a somewhat bikeable environment (bikeScore 49) and car-dependent conditions (walkScore 47), with some transit availability (transitScore 46).

Because the property is offered as-is and requires purchaser verification of measurements, zoning, and development requirements, this offering is best suited to buyers prepared to manage renovation planning and compliance. The DLBA disclosure notes a right to tax capture for the five tax years after transfer, which may not align with tax abatements available to a selected purchaser; DLBA will review waiver requests and may require a payment in lieu of taxes based on the development proforma and financing impacts.
