Art Center townhouse with its own elevator asks $449K

What can $449,000 get you around Detroit right now? In some neighborhoods (Boston Edison, Indian Village), you can get a modest mansion. In Midtown, you could snag a spacious loft. Over in Art Center, near the Detroit Institute of Arts and the College for Creative Studies, it can get you an 1,860-square-foot townhouse, completely updated and with its own elevator.

The townhouse is a newer build from 2007. The living space is open with a big kitchen, a living room with a Pewabic tiled fireplace, and a small balcony out back. There’s also room on the first level for an office. The master suite has a large walk-in closet and a big bathroom. It may not have the character we see in older homes, but it’s spacious and move-in ready in a good location. The townhouse also has an attached two-car garage. HOA fees are $300 per month. It’s listed through O’Connor Real Estate.
