This inviting home in Detroit's Morningside neighborhood comes with plenty of updates. This mostly finished renovation is priced to allow the buyer to add their own custom finishes and personal touches. The living room features a unique natural fireplace, perfect for entertaining and cozy gatherings with family and friends. A charming three-season porch overlooks the lush backyard and provides additional space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. A large kitchen has been updated with beautiful green Shaker-style cabinets, new countertops, and a stylish backsplash. (The ceiling awaits a new paint job) A first-floor half bath adds convenience, while the second level offers three nicely sized bedrooms and a spacious full bathroom. Updates include the kitchen, both bathrooms, PEX plumbing, flooring, electrical, and much more. Abundant storage throughout.

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.
