About This Home

Renovated two-family flat in Northwest Goldberg, built in 1913, set up for an owner-occupant to live in one unit and let the other carry part of the note. The lower unit is vacant and move-in ready; the upper is leased at $1,375 a month to a current tenant and can be toured during diligence. An owner can move into the lower now and put roughly $16,500 a year from the upper against the mortgage, or rent the lower at $1,375 as well and carry roughly $18,150 in net income across both units. The house reads as an early auto-era flat: red brick with a full-height faceted bay, its upper stories in cream stucco set off by a grid of recessed panels, brick porch piers, and a wood balcony deck above the porch. Two front entries, 6222 and 6224 under one roof, mark the two-unit layout. Each unit holds two bedrooms and one bath over hardwood floors, with the living room framed by the bay. The renovated kitchens pair quartz counters with gas ranges, dishwashers, subway tile backsplashes, and open shelving; the full baths are finished in tile. Fenced backyard with a rear deck, and a shared basement with separate washer and dryer, separate water heaters and panels per unit, and extra storage. Location carries the value. Northwest Goldberg sits just south of Henry Ford Health's main campus, where the $2.2 billion Destination: Grand expansion is underway, a 20-story tower set to open by the end of 2029, part of a partnership with Michigan State University and the Detroit Pistons that adds a medical research center and mixed-income housing. The Motown Museum's $75 million expansion on West Grand Boulevard is under construction a few blocks north. With Henry Ford, Wayne State, and CCS all close, rental demand should stay healthy for years. Steps from the Henry Ford campus and the Motown Museum, bordered by the Lodge and West Grand Boulevard, minutes from New Center, Milwaukee Junction, LaSalle Gardens, and Virginia Park, and a quick ride to Corktown and downtown.
