What was blight can become beautiful again. My wife and I purchased this duplex in North Corktown at tax auction a few years ago. Back then it was abandoned, fire-damaged, and used as a base for scrappers. We paid the scrappers to leave, secured the building, and renovated it from the studs out. Today it's practically a new building with a number of its historic features remaining intact after we invested a lot of time, money, and hard work into it. The new parts in this renovation feature: - New electric wiring with multiple outlets in each room. - High-efficiency furnace, programmable thermostat, new duct work. - AC, central air. - New plumbing and high-efficiency water heater. - Security cameras and lighting. - Stainless steel, Energy Star appliances in a new kitchen. - Energy Star washer and dryer in basement, both front loading. - New energy-efficient windows. - Spray-foam insulation. - Large mural on side of building. - Fenced-in yard. - Raised garden bed and fruit trees. - Off-street parking. The historic parts of this renovation include: - Restored oak front door. - Refinished oak floors. - Reglazed cast-iron tub in new bathroom. - Walk-in closets. Tenants cover utilities. Landlord pays for water and landscaping. Pet friendly. One month security deposit required to reserve unit. First month's rent, and a $250 non-refundable cleaning fee required at lease signing.
