Lafayette Park co-op with Canada and downtown views asks $225K

1300 East Lafayette has arguably some of the best views of the city. Depending on where the co-op is located, one could look out to Belle Isle, Canada, downtown, Greektown, the stadiums, and beyond. Some co-ops are enviable end units that can encompass most of those views. This three-bedroom unit has an open living room looking to the river and downtown, while some of the other rooms can see as far as Belle Isle or, sometimes, the Fisher Building. Lovely. It’s listed at $224,500.

This 1,442-square-foot co-op is on the 7th floor, allowing for a good vantage point to take in the scenery. Updating? Possibly, if necessary (but it doesn’t have to be). It also has two dated, yet oddly charming bathrooms. HOA fees run $1,500 per month, and include maintenance, taxes, heating and cooling, plus amenities such as swimming pools, a fitness center, and on-site maintenance. It’s listed through Lauren Bruyninga at O’Connor Real Estate.
