With its large front porch and handsome brick exterior, this distinctive Tudor-style home offers a range of amenities to the purchaser - and it comes with a side lot!
The blighted house immediately to the south of the auction property (16564 Pierson); will be demolished in the near future, giving the purchaser a significant amount of additional land and plenty of options in what to do with it.
Built in 1936, the auction house itself features:
A large picture window in front
Steeply-pitched cross gables
An impressive fireplace with carved wood mantle
Wood detailing
Mature front yard tree
Large backyard
Bar counter between the kitchen and living room, making for easy entertaining
Cove ceilings
Wood floors
Located in Detroit’s Old Redford neighborhood, the house enjoys very close proximity to a range of amenities, including:
The charming block of Lahser containing Motor City Java House, the Redford Theatre, Artist Village, and Sweet Potato Sensations
The site of new Meijer store, currently under construction
Howard Hardy Crowell Recreation Center
Livonia and Dearborn Heights
The property will require a number of repairs and renovations, and bidders should review the attached pre-sale inspection report for more information. Please also note that the purchaser is responsible for the current year (2014); property taxes at the time of closing.

COLLUSION (BID-RIGGING) IN AN AUCTION IS A CRIME
Collusion between bidders in a DLBA auction, which is also known as “bid-rigging,” is a type of fraud and a violation of Federal antitrust laws. The DLBA takes the integrity of its auctions very seriously and bid-rigging is unfair to competing bidders and, ultimately, to the people of the City of Detroit. If the DLBA finds evidence of collusion in an auction, it reserves the right and will not hesitate to, as appropriate, reject specific bids, cancel an entire auction (in each case keeping the deposits or downpayments of the colluding parties), and/or pursue criminal prosecution of the parties involved to the fullest extent of the law.
