Discover an exceptional investment opportunity in the heart of Southwest Detroit! This classic brick duplex, ideally situated between I-94 and Michigan Avenue, offers income potential with vast possibilities for expansion. Its prime location provides incredibly easy access to downtown Detroit, making it highly attractive to tenants seeking convenience and urban living. The property currently operates as a two-unit duplex, but its true value lies in its untapped potential for creating additional income-generating units. The expansive, unfinished attic presents a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into a spacious and desirable third unit.
Furthermore, the full basement offers a unique opportunity for creative development. It can be thoughtfully separated to provide common laundry and storage facilities for all units, while simultaneously accommodating a distinct, walk-up studio apartment with direct access to the street – perfect for maximizing rental income.
Parking is a breeze with ample space available in the rear of the property, accessible via a convenient alley, or readily available off-street parking.
This is more than just a duplex; it's a strategic investment in a vibrant and growing Detroit neighborhood. With its solid brick construction, flexible layout, and incredible potential for additional units, this property is poised to deliver significant returns for the savvy investor. Don't miss your chance to capitalize on this unique opportunity! Lots of original detail in plaster and wood trim plus hardwood floors throughout both unit.
