2036 Collingwood Street

About this home

A totally renovated interior with a century of character, this 1921 two-story sits just north of the Boston-Edison Historic District. Step through the oval glass front door into a living room washed in light from a bay of five windows, with a carved mantel and painted brick fireplace, brass sconces and refinished hardwood floors. The dining room is dressed in picture-frame wainscoting under a brass chandelier and opens to a sunroom with windows on two sides. The kitchen is all new: white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, matte black hardware and faucet, stainless dishwasher and recessed lighting, with a slider out to the back deck. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. The main bath has a teal furniture-style vanity with a quartz top, a subway tile walk-in shower with a hex mosaic floor and a private water closet. The second has a tub and shower and a wood vanity with a marble-look top. One bedroom opens onto its own balcony overlooking the backyard. The basement adds a half bath, laundry hookups and room to grow. Outside, a new roof and a new concrete driveway and walkway finish the picture. Boston-Edison is the 900-home district where Henry Ford and Berry Gordy once lived. Its tree-lined boulevards are a short walk away. The Durfee Innovation Society, a former school turned community hub with more than 35 organizations, an indoor pool and an arcade, is just down Collingwood. New Center, Midtown and downtown are a quick drive.

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 $239,900, or $135 per square foot, 90% above the city median, and has been on the market 4 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 $2,223 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $893 to $7,776 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.
