Property Description
A West Village classic duplex tucked along Van Dyke Place, one of the neighborhood's most peaceful, tree-lined streets.
Currently arranged as a two-family home—yet easily reconnected through a sealed living-room doorway—this property offers remarkable flexibility for both lifestyle and investment.
Each side-by-side townhouse-style unit features three/four bedrooms, two full baths, and its own private basement. The layouts differ slightly, but the charm is consistent throughout: original wood floors, decorative fireplaces, rich trim details, and thoughtful natural light. Both units enjoy covered front porches, second-floor sunrooms, and views of a rear courtyard that feels distinctly European in scale and character.
Practical improvements have already been handled: boilers, water heaters, electrical panels, house and garage roofs, and garage doors were all updated. The property is secured with a wrought-iron perimeter fence an includes a precious 3-car garage. Appliances in both units are included.
House-Hacking Opportunity! For buyers who want the best of both worlds—homeownership with built-in income—this property is an ideal setup. Live in one townhouse and rent out the other to offset your mortgage. With two large, private units, separate basements, and independent mechanicals, you maintain privacy while enjoying meaningful monthly cash flow. In a high-demand rental pocket like West Village, this is a strategic way to reduce housing costs, build equity faster, and benefit from Detroit's appreciated urban neighborhoods.
