Property Description

SELLER WILL CONSIDER ALL OFFERS! What if you could buy a remodeled Detroit home, add the adjacent lot for a few hundred dollars, and own one of the best opportunities on the block, all for just $85,000? Whether you're searching for your first home, your next rental property, or a smart long-term investment, 8539 De Soto offers the rare combination of affordability, updates, and future upside that today's buyers are struggling to find. Situated in Detroit's emerging Chalfonte neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home features natural hardwood flooring, an open-concept layout, butcher block countertops, luxurious porcelain tile, fresh paint, updated plumbing, and updated electrical. The finished basement provides valuable bonus living space, perfect for a home office, recreation room, fitness area, or additional entertaining space. The detached one-car garage also adds convenience. But what truly sets this property apart is what surrounds it. Just a few doors down, you'll find rows of newer homes built in 2006, helping strengthen the appeal of the block and highlighting the area's continued evolution. Even more exciting, the possibility of expanding your yard, creating additional outdoor space, or securing extra land for future value by acquiring the fenced in adjacent lot from the city. Some homes are simply places to live. Others are opportunities to get ahead. 8539 De Soto is both. Investors purchasing without representation are encouraged to contact the listing agent for recent neighborhood rental comparables to help verify market rents and investment potential, as this home will likely rent for $1300-$1400.
