Less than one block from the Detroit River, this historic property is a rare find. Seamlessly combining a range of Revival styles, the home features steeply-pitched rooflines, an arched doorway, and intricate, multi-tonal brickwork. Entering the house, visitors will be struck by natural light flowing through the ribbon of arched window on the house’s facade, illuminating hardwood floors, the brick fireplace, and original plasterwork. Built in 1929, the property contains 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths in its 2,000 square feet of living space. Arched entryways and some original tiling add to the home’s historic charm, while a large kitchen, separate dining room, and rear sunroom enhance the home’s appeal.
In addition to the adjacent riverfront parks, the house enjoys close proximity to highly-regarded Maheras-Gentry Park, burgeoning East Jefferson commercial corridor, and the Grosse Pointe border. While the home is structurally solid with many historic details, the purchaser should prepare to make numerous repairs to the property and should review the attached presale inspection report for more detail on the repairs required. Please also note that purchasers are 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.
