Property details
About 20115 Pelkey St
Investor-friendly opportunity at 20115 Pelkey St – a Detroit home offering 1,052 sq. ft. of flexible living space, newer mechanicals, and strong rental potential. Situated on a fenced-in corner lot, the property offers added privacy, extra yard space, and great natural light throughout. Inside, you’ll find a cozy, sun-filled living room perfect for tenants or owner-occupants alike. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and generous counter space. Both kitchen and laundry appliances are negotiable with the sale. Upstairs, the bedrooms offer peaceful retreats with charming touches like sloped ceilings and large windows. The bathroom is bright, well-designed, and finished with tasteful details. All windows are new throughout, and the roof is newer. The home is equipped with gas-forced air heat and a gas water heater, so the major systems are in great shape. The flexible layout supports a variety of uses—home office, studio, guest space, or rental income—with plenty of potential to add value. This is an owner-occupied property with a clear title. The buyer will receive title insurance and a warranty deed at closing, and the title company is ready to close—offering a rare level of readiness at this price point in Detroit. Please note: Due to a clerical error, the property is currently taxed at a non-homestead rate, even though it’s been owner-occupied 100% of the time. An owner-occupant buyer would likely benefit from a significantly reduced property tax bill once corrected. Bonus: Many neighboring homes are owner-occupied, with residents who’ve lived there for over 30 years—contributing to a sense of stability and pride of ownership. Located in a revitalizing area of Detroit, close to major roads, public transit, and local amenities. Whether you’re house-hacking, flipping, or expanding your rental portfolio, this home checks all the boxes. Schedule your showing today—opportunities like this don’t last!
