1484 Longfellow Street, $350,000

This stately five bedroom, two bath brick home has recently been renovated with a new kitchen, hardwood floors, new light fixtures, and plenty of quartz. The third floor suite includes a “free-standing slipper” tub with a chandelier above it. Fancy! It also has two sun rooms, a backyard with a garage, and storage in the basement. It sits just west of the Lodge.

872 Longfellow, $225,000

This new four-bedroom listing needs some love, but it has a lot to work with and pretty good price to get into the neighborhood. This house could use some exterior work and a new kitchen, and the third floor is wide open for renovation. It has great wood beams, hardwood floors, a beautiful staircase, and nice built-ins throughout. It’s just east of the Lodge, a few blocks from Woodward.

950 Longfellow, $229,000

Just down the street is a recent flip on a double lot. It has three bedrooms, two full and two half baths, new cabinets and counter tops in the kitchen, a basement for more living space or storage, and a garage. It’s right off the Lodge and just a block away from Voigt Park.
