What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than wandering through abandoned, century-old houses before they go to auction? This Saturday (4/25), the Detroit Land Bank is opening up eighteen Boston-Edison houses that'll be auctioned off in May. Conditions range fixer-upper to mushy woodpile, with most falling somewhere in-between. Care for a map of what's available? Before you get lost in Pewabic tile solariums and smashed turquoise kitchens, know these things: · The open house runs from 1-5 pm on Saturday.Pre-register here. · Click the "WEBSITE" link next to any house for more photos and info. · They're not on this map, but a handful of Virginia Park houses will also be open Saturday. · Before visiting any house, you must check-in at 2224 W Boston. It's the glorious tudor in the photo above.
We have no idea how a 1961 split-level home ended up in Boston-Edison, but we're sure glad it's here. Equally mysterious is the interior, which seems to be in great condition. [3 beds/1.5 baths/2,000 SF]
For reasons unknown, this property won't be ready to tour during Saturday's open house. A few photos of the interior can be found at the link provided. [4 beds/2.2 baths/4,000 SF]
Carpet is a rarity in these auction homes, but this one has acres of the stuff. Carpet aside, the interior looks promising. [2 beds/1.5 baths/2,300 SF]
