About 16160 La Salle Avenue

Welcome back to 1927! This Martin Park home maintains the beauty of its bygone era and has Motown ties. Some of the home’s best features are its tall, coved ceilings, perfect Pewabic tile fireplaces, intact plaster detail and huge medallions, leaded and beveled glass casement windows, along with hardwood floors throughout- with inlay in the main areas. Despite its attributes, this home needs a lot of love. The restoration has begun with a new roof and decking (2023), both chimneys are repaired and capped, and the arched doorway in front has been made structurally sound. The second story balcony above it has a new concrete floor. All the original railings are now inside the house. The home has its share of damaged ceilings from water damage prior to the new roof, it does not currently have a working kitchen, and the utilities are not on. This two-family home can offset expenses or easily be converted into a huge one-family dream home. The extra-tall attic spanning the length of the building is begging to be an epic master suite. Four baths - 2 full with fancy fixtures for the day and two half Jack & Jill baths await. There’s a lot to love here. Plenty of original exact front exterior brick are here so you can finish the wing walls or replace the porch wall if you choose! The original limestone caps are all saved here as well just waiting to be put back. This property will be sold as-is. BATVAI. Homestead eligible!
