About this home
Exciting multifamily investment opportunity in rapidly appreciating Grosse Pointe Woods! Outstanding location just off Mack Avenue, this all-brick duplex offers a rare and highly desirable layout featuring a lower 3-bedroom apartment (extremely hard to find and commands a rental premium) plus a spacious 1-bedroom upper unit. Both apartments feature large, open-concept living spaces. The lower unit includes a living room and family room, a full bathroom, plus an additional half bath located in its private basement, along with extra storage and laundry. Kitchens and bathrooms in both units are well maintained. Each unit enjoys its own private basement with laundry and storage, separate utility meters, and off-street parking with a driveway and garage - making this property exceptionally easy to manage. Landlord currently pays water, lawn, and snow. Tenants pay gas & electric. Perfect for investors or owner-occupants - house hack by living in one unit while renting the other. Both units are currently leased month to month, providing flexibility and in-place income from day one. Highly walkable location just steps from coffee shops, dining, shopping, and award-winning Grosse Pointe Public Schools. Residents also enjoy access to the Grosse Pointe Woods waterfront park featuring a marina, pool, putt-putt golf, and more. Neighboring duplexes have sold for $300K+, presenting a compelling value-add upside in an already strong market.

R-2
Two-Family Residential District
The R-2 two-family residential district is established as a district in which the principal use of land is for single-family and two-family dwellings based upon a plan to make the most appropriate use of land within neighborhoods or on major thoroughfares. The specific intent of this division is to ensure that only such residential uses as can be properly designed and built will be allowed in this district so as not to overcrowd the land cause parking or traffic congestion, or have injurious effects on adjacent single-family residential dwellings. The intent of this division is to: Encourage the construction of and the continued use of the land for single-family and two-family dwellings.; Prohibit business, commercial or industrial use of the land, and prohibit any other use which would substantially interfere with development or maintenance of single-family and two-family dwellings in the district.; Encourage the discontinuance of existing uses that would not be permitted as new uses under the provisions of this division.; Discourage any land use that would generate traffic on minor or local streets other than normal traffic to serve the residences on those streets.; Discourage any use which because of its character or size would create requirements and costs for public services such as fire and police protection water supply and sewerage, substantially in excess of such requirements and costs if the district were developed solely for single-family and two-family dwellings.
