Located in the Morningside neighborhood on Detroit’s east side, this sprawling ranch offers an exceptional opportunity to complete a thoughtfully reimagined home, with major systems already updated and permitted. Set on a lot and a half with an extra-large fenced backyard, the property combines solid construction with a refreshed exterior featuring newly added shaker siding that complements the home’s classic Detroit brick.
Inside, the home is anchored by a first-floor primary suite with soft-close pocket doors and a private, functional layout—an increasingly rare feature. The main level has been reimagined with a wide-open plan and a generous kitchen footprint designed for a standout kitchen, flowing into the living area and a great room with backyard views and direct access to the new rear deck. A first-floor half bath and flex space add versatility for entertaining or working from home.
The basement expands the livable footprint with a large workshop or flex area and two bedrooms with permitted egress windows, ideal for guests, studio space, or additional living areas. New basement windows and updated weeping tiles on three sides reinforce the quality of work completed.
Major improvements include a new roof (2025), sewer line (2025), plumbing, electrical with a 150-amp panel, HVAC and central air (2025), wall insulation, updated driveway, new front and back doors, select new windows, fiber-optic AT&T lines, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and an ADT security system with four cameras. Rough inspections have passed; remaining items await final inspections and finish work.
Offered as a partially completed renovation and well-suited for cash or renovation loan financing, this home allows buyers to complete remaining improvements while personalizing finishes. With major systems in place, the focus can remain on design rather than infrastructure—a rare opportunity in an up-and-coming east-side neighborhood.
