    What's special

    Great curb appeal on this charming 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 1,311 sqft brick bungalow on a great block in the award-winning East English Village neighborhood of Detroit’s east side. Price reflects room to add value with your finishing touches. This home is situated on one of the few blocks in the neighborhood with a one-way street, which results in less vehicular traffic than a typical block in EEV. Many original details, hardware and fixtures have been well-maintained, while recent updates include freshly painted interior, new overhead lights / switches / outlets, new carpet upstairs, new toilet, newer concrete driveway slabs, new driveway gates, newer roof and insulation, new door locks and knobs, newer vinyl windows and quality blinds throughout. Kitchen updated w/ ceramic tile planks, freshly sanded and painted cabinets and drawers. Natural wood-burning fireplace and tasteful surround in living room. Partially finished basement w/ knotty pine paneling wall includes built-in shelves, cabinets, and faux fireplace. Large 19’x26’ upstairs bedroom w/ brand new carpet includes walk-in cedar closet plus a walk-in storage room which could be finished for additional living space. Oversized driveway on a relatively large 40’ x 148’ lot with fenced-in backyard and 2-car garage w/ high roofline and electrical service. Great sunlight exposure around the entire property makes for ideal gardening and outdoor entertaining conditions. Concrete porches front and back are in great shape. Short 4.5 block 0.6 mile walk or bike ride to East Warren Ave, currently undergoing $8.2M streetscape makeover and commercial corridor revitalization efforts. Easy access to I-94 + all of Metro Detroit.
