The house located at 15238 Rochelle, Detroit, MI 48205, is a classic-style property that, although it hasn't been renovated recently, offers great potential for those looking for a home to update to their taste. The exterior features a solid brick structure, but shows signs of wear, with a need for improvements to the facade. Upon entering, you'll find a spacious living room, though the finishes, such as worn hardwood floors and walls in need of paint, indicate that the house requires a complete refresh. The kitchen is roomy, offering an excellent opportunity to modernize and adapt it to current needs. Upstairs, the bedrooms are well-sized but, like the rest of the house, need renovation. The bathroom retains its original design, though it requires modernization to meet contemporary standards. The backyard is large and has the potential to become an attractive space. Even though the house is unrenovated, it presents a great opportunity for investors or buyers looking for a renovation project in a growing neighborhood in Detroit.

R1
Single-Family Residential District
The R1 Single-Family Residential District is designed to protect and preserve quiet, low-density residential areas now primarily developed and those areas which will be developed with single-family detached dwellings and characterized by a high ratio of home ownership. The regulations for this district are designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of the district and to promote and encourage a suitable environment for activities associated with family life. To these ends, development is limited to a relatively low concentration and uses permitted by right are limited to single-family detached dwellings which provide homes for the residents of the area. Additional residential uses such as religious institutions, neighborhood centers, and utility uses necessary to serve the immediate area may be permitted on a conditional basis.
