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 enjoys extra privacy, additional yard space, and abundant 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, generous counter space, and ample cabinetry—plus, 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 thoughtfully finished and naturally lit, adding to the home’s comfortable vibe. All windows are new throughout, ensuring energy efficiency and a refreshed appearance. The roof is newer, and the home is equipped with gas-forced air heat and a gas water heater, so major systems are in excellent shape. The flexible layout supports a variety of uses—live/work setups, creative space, or rental income—with plenty of room to add value. Please note: due to a clerical error, the property is currently taxed at a non-homestead rate, despite being owner-occupied 100% of the time. An owner-occupant buyer would likely benefit from a significantly lower tax bill once corrected. Bonus: Some neighboring homes are owner-occupied, with residents who’ve lived there for over 30 years—contributing to a strong sense of stability and community. Located in a revitalizing area of Detroit, close to major roads, public transit, and local amenities. Whether you’re house-hacking, flipping, or building a rental portfolio, this is a smart long-term investment. Schedule your tour today—this Detroit gem won’t last!
