Woodbridge single-family-turned-duplex wants $390K

The Woodbridge neighborhood is lined with lovely old Victorians, both single-family and multi-family. Sometimes, a house can do it all. This columned five-bedroom home has been a single-family home with its current owners, but it’s now situated for two separate apartments. It has old charm and character, plus some modern updates, and it’s listed for $390,000.

Given, the upstairs apartment has an unusual layout. The kitchen is combined with the laundry—kind of like a New York City apartment! The upper flat has three bedrooms, with one that opens to a sitting room. We’re digging the big veranda that overlooks the street. Downstairs, find a living room with a fun tiled fireplace, a dining room that connects to the kitchen, and two more bedrooms. The fenced backyard has a shed and room for parking, which is valuable in this neighborhood. Also to note: the house has central air. It’s close to Wayne State, Midtown, downtown, and Corktown. It was staged and listed through Muffy Kroha at Johnstone & Johnstone.
