Classic Colonial Revival Four-Square — Rehab Opportunity in Detroit’s Cultural Heart! Welcome to 923 Calvert Street, a proud and enduring example of the Colonial Revival Four-Square style, located just outside the iconic Boston-Edison Historic District and built in 1914. This stately, boxy beauty—with its symmetrical façade, broad hipped roof, central dormer, and charming bay window—offers the architectural bones and historical charm that Detroit is famous for. This is a rare rehab opportunity with solid fundamentals: original hardwood floors, generous room sizes, vintage built-ins, and a light-filled layout with great flow. The home will need renovation and updates throughout, but offers a manageable project size for first-time homebuyers looking to build equity and customize a forever home, or for seasoned investors seeking their next profitable rental or Airbnb. A unique bonus: this property includes the potential to acquire the two adjacent vacant lots, presenting options for expansion, gardening, or additional development—perfect for a live-work studio or multi-generational living concept. Located just minutes from Midtown, New Center, and Detroit’s premier cultural institutions—like the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Public Library, Wayne State University, the QLine, and countless educational and creative hubs—this home is ideally positioned for artists, educators, professionals, and urban pioneers who want to be part of the city’s ongoing transformation. With classic Detroit architecture and unmatched proximity to the city’s best amenities, 923 Calvert is more than a home—it’s an opportunity to restore, invest, and belong.
