Located on Detroit's iconic Rosa Parks Boulevard, this charming brick multifamily property offers updated spaces alongside preserved historical interior architectural details throughout, including beautiful bay windows with original trim; a stunning grand staircase accented by an exposed-beam ceiling; leaded glass windows; and very special tiled fireplaces, full of character. The open-concept kitchens have been thoughtfully designed with plenty of storage, a wrap-around counter, exposed brick wall and open shelving, plus a durable new metal roof was installed in 2020. One unit offers four bedrooms, including a huge, finished third-floor attic space with vaulted ceilings and skylights, while the other unit is a spacious three-bedroom. The park-like backyards feature enchanting patios leading out to sprawling lush green spaces ringed by old-growth trees. Offering an abundance of natural light and character throughout, this rare duplex is ideal for owner-occupants or investors who want to live in one unit while renting out the other. Positioned in North Corktown, the central location offers easy, walkable access to Corktown, Woodbridge, Downtown, and all the dining and entertainment amenities, as well as public transit. Adjacent lots are available but listed separately.

North Corktown, located between Michigan Avenue and the Lodge Freeway, is a historic and industrial Detroit neighborhood with brick rowhouses and warehouse conversions. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Trumbull Avenue near the old Tiger Stadium site, where corner bars, small studios, and new-build infill share the same blocks. Batch Brewing Company and the restored Michigan Central Station serve as cultural anchors with a strong sense of place. Streets mix early-20th-century cottages with contemporary townhomes, giving the area a layered streetscape. Sidewalk-scale blocks and pocket greenspaces support a walk-and-bike routine. Downtown and Corktown sit just beyond the edges, shaping a city-forward, design-minded feel.
