Property details

About 13971 Northlawn St

Attention investors! This 2-unit brick duplex is a prime value-add opportunity. Built in 1927, this property offers classic architectural charm with solid brick construction and a spacious 2,132 sq. ft. layout. Each unit features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, making it ideal for rental income potential. While the home requires a full rehab inside and out, it presents a blank slate for an investor to renovate and maximize value. Located near the upcoming Joe Louis Greenway, a 27.5-mile biking and walking trail designed to connect Detroit’s neighborhoods, this property sits in an area poised for long-term growth. The greenway will enhance community appeal, increase foot traffic, and contribute to rising property values—making this an excellent buy-and-hold, BRRRR, or Section 8 rental investment. With strong rental demand in the area and potential appreciation, this duplex is an ideal project for any investor looking to build long-term wealth. Don’t miss out on this opportunity— schedule a showing! Property is being conveyed via assignment; buyer will receive a warranty deed and title insurance at closing. Buyers agent is required to be physically present for all showings unless prior written consent is given by agent or seller.
