About this home
Spacious, well-maintained home featuring historic character, a full side lot, and two tenant-ready units in the heart of Southwest Detroit. Ideal for owner-occupants, the generously proportioned two-bedroom main-floor unit has a large, sunny kitchen with attractive and functional updates. The extra large bathroom has been outfitted with a jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Characterful details like hand-crafted doors, wide-board wood floors and paned-glass windows add charm throughout. Both upper-level units have been optimized for convenience and efficiency while also maintaining their charm. These units could be reconfigured to double the single-family living space or accommodate a variety of individualized floor plans. Ample storage and workspace is available in the garage and shed, while the adjoining lot provides gated off-street parking and valuable fenced green space, perfect for gatherings with a fire pit, outdoor electrical outlet (ready to update for EV charging) and decorative trees. All three units are tenanted and BSEED-certified. Recent upgrades include sewer line replacement for added peace of mind, a new furnace in 2024, new hot water tanks, updated and individually metered gas and electrical lines, and replaced washer/dryer. 1944 Morrell, the side lot, is sold separately with negotiable terms.

How it compares in Detroit
Over the last 90 days, 1,214 homes sold in Detroit for a median of $99,950, about $71 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 29 days. This home is listed at $330,000, or $151 per square foot, 113% above the city median, and has been on the market 2 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Detroit sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $7,866 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $4,494 to $10,696 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 64.18 mills for Detroit City and Detroit schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
