Harbor Island home with canal frontage seeks $300K

Do you have dreams of living in Venice, but your budget is keeping you in Detroit? A rare listing along the canals in Jefferson-Chalmers has come up. This house has three bedrooms, wood trim, a nice fireplace in the living room, a lovely sun room in the front of the house, and room for you boat (or kayaks). It’s listing for $300,000.

This neighborhood is perfect for someone who wants to technically live in the city, but within a tight-knit community away from it all. Harbor Island is tucked away in Jefferson-Chalmers, well off the main commercial corridor and close to the Detroit River and Grosse Pointe Park. The angular house has a newer roof, boiler, and water heater, and the home itself has been maintained throughout the years. It’s a charming little place for the nautical-minded buyer, and it’s listed through Alex Lauer at Real Estate One.
