Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a waterfront two-family home with approximately 40 feet of canal frontage in Detroit's desirable Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood, known as "Little Venice." Located directly on the Fox Creek Canal, this property offers access to the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair right from your backyard. Enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, and other water activities, or cruise the waterways to nearby dining and entertainment.
Currently configured as a duplex, each unit features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, providing a total of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The property offers excellent potential for an owner-occupant, long-term rental, or investment opportunity. It could also be considered for conversion into a spacious single-family waterfront home. Features include generous room sizes, original hardwood floors, a full basement, finished attic, and front balconies.
Recent improvements include new kitchen flooring in both units (2026), new bathroom vanities and faucets in both units (2026), lower-unit toilet (2024), upper-unit reglazed tub (2026), and fresh neutral paint throughout both units (2026). The upper unit also features luxury vinyl plank flooring in the dining room and new carpet in the living room, hallway, and both bedrooms (2026). The finished attic has also received new carpet (2026).
Additional updates include a newer roof (2021), water heater (2021), furnace (2018), and separate electrical service panels.
Conveniently located just blocks from Jefferson Avenue with easy access to Grosse Pointe, downtown Detroit, dining, shopping, and waterfront recreation. Waterfront living, income potential, and investment opportunity all in one property.
