Enjoy being one of the few Detroit condo owners with a private, direct-access outdoor space—perfect for pet owners and anyone who loves to be outside without leaving home. Benefit from an extremely low NEZ R Property Tax Abatement through 2033, with annual taxes under $1000, offering significant savings and added value, increasingly rare in Detroit. This is a Detroit classic, a fully modernized conversion from an old brick schoolhouse into a high-end city living condo.
**A gated parking lot entry system and fob access ensures peace of mind. Your unit includes assigned, covered, deeded parking.
** Super high ceilings create a spacious, open atmosphere, complemented by a split floor plan for maximum privacy and functionality. High-end blinds are installed throughout. The primary bedroom includes a modern bath, and the second bedroom features a dual-access full bathroom. Modern finishes and top-of-the-line appliances complete the stylish interior.
**Located near West Village and the Kercheval Corridor, this condo offers an up and coming neighborhood vibe with access to places like Sister Pie, Norm's Cafe, and Two-Birds. Enjoy close proximity to Belle Isle, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. The location provides easy access to downtown Detroit and major highways for a quick commute. This vibrant neighborhood boasts historic homes, tree-lined streets, and a community-driven atmosphere. This is a rare opportunity to own a modern, low-maintenance home with a fantastic outdoor space in one of Detroit’s rising areas. The seller has priced it aggressively to generate showing activity and built-in equity.
**Although the unit is tenant-occupied, they are on a month-to-month lease. At the buyer's option, the seller can submit the 30 day notice to the tenant after a fully executed purchase agreement is in place and the inspection contingency has passed, or as otherwise negotiated.
