I spend a lot of time on the Trulia website, and I love looking at the houses in Detroit. They're cheap, there are a lot of them and many of them are historic, classic homes. If I had some extra money I'd be snapping up as many of these homes I possibly could!
So I found this house on Trulia this evening. So why this house? It is a little charmer, not super old but has a fireplace, arched doorways, glass doors, original door knobs and the list goes on! There are repairs needed (that corner where the stone has split from the house worries me!) but it has a nice yard too. So when I find a house I like I use Google to look at it in its setting and this one has a HUGE bonus! It is located across from the Water Works Park, a historic park. The Hurlbut Memorial is walking distance and you've got a huge parkland in front of the house. Not that you have access but you do have a lovely view. This home is a few minutes walk from the canal and there is a restaurant at the Marina nearby that you can dock at it. All that for 40000!
A wonderful example of the homes for sale in Detroit.
