About this home
Discover timeless character and modern convenience in this beautifully renovated five-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Detroit's historic Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood. The 1.5-story, full-brick home features the symmetrical footprint and refined detailing typical of Colonial Revival architecture, blended with the structural coziness of a Craftsman bungalow—a distinctive pairing that reflects the neighborhood's rich architectural heritage. The home has been thoughtfully preserved and recently renovated, maintaining its prominent historic footprint within a district officially added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Traditional Craftsman elements shine throughout, including pristine hardwood floors and original interior wood trim that pair beautifully with the home's modern updates. The spacious layout is designed for both everyday living and entertaining: a large living room with fireplace, a formal dining room, and a flexible bonus room ideal for a home office, library, or den. The open kitchen anchors the home with a center island that flows effortlessly into the main living space, complemented by first-floor laundry for added convenience. Step outside to a deep, fenced-in backyard—perfect for gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing—plus a detached two-car garage offering plenty of storage and parking. Location is everything here. You're just minutes from the Detroit River, neighborhood parks, beloved local restaurants and shops, with the vibrant Yellow Brick Road Arts Alley right around the corner—a colorful, community-driven art installation that captures the creative energy and welcoming spirit of Jefferson Chalmers. Full of architectural character, this home is a rare chance to own a piece of one of Detroit's most storied and revitalizing historic neighborhoods.

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 $324,999, or $141 per square foot, 99% above the city median, and has been on the market 1 day. 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 $1,834 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $1,216 to $10,534 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.
