Long narrow driveway can park two large or three smaller vehicles. Additional street parking available out front (except for on Fridays between 7am – 4pm due to street sweeping). House is about a 5-minute walk to a bus stop that provides public transportation from downtown Detroit to Birmingham and all the cities in between. (See guidebook for details.)
This house was built in 1950, so it’s got plenty of old-school charm (and a few quirks to match). You can expect a few creaky stairs, pipes with a little personality, and the occasional draft—it all comes with the vintage territory! If that sounds cozy and character-filled to you, you’ll fit right in. But if you’re looking for something ultra-modern and pristine, this might not be a good fit for you.
If you have any specific questions about the property that could affect the quality of your stay, please ask! I want you to know what to expect so you can enjoy a five-star experience when you’re here.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
