Southwest Detroit fixer-upper wants $80K

Last week, we looked at a few fixer-uppers in hot neighborhoods currently on the market. We think this new listing would be a good selection for that comparison. It’s located a couple blocks from Clark Park, near shops and restaurants in Mexicantown and West Vernor. If you love ripping out carpeting, this may be the house for you. It’s listed for $79,900.

Inside, find archways connecting the main rooms, big windows, a really odd staircase in the kitchen, linoleum, and more carpet—although the listing says there are original hardwood floors underneath. The brick house has three bedrooms, one bath, and a bonus room for an office, plus a nice-sized fenced yard. We’d like to know what that door leads to in the paneled room. This could be a fun house for someone looking for a good project in a desirable neighborhood. It’s listed through Arterra Realty.
