Rehab this Sherwood Forest home, yours for $170K

We really hope the right owner finds this house. It looks like it could be a knockout, but so much needs to happen first. This five bedroom house is located in one of the best neighborhoods in Detroit, it could totally be made into someone’s dream house, and it’s listing for $170,000.

If the new owner would like help ripping out all the carpet, we’re happy to help. Can you imagine the satisfaction of ripping out this nasty old carpet and replacing it with beautiful hardwood throughout? Forgive us, we’re dreaming of better things for this house.

The John C. Heiferich house was built in 1926 and it’s 2,900 square feet with five bedrooms, three and a half baths, a deck and a backyard. A lot of the original character is still left. There’s even potential to update the basement rec room. It’ll take a lot of work to get rid of that carpet and wallpaper, but we’d love to see the end result. Here’s more of the inside.
