Property Description

Welcome to 1470 Helen St — a rare opportunity to own a piece of Detroit history in the heart of the resurging Islandview neighborhood! This beautifully renovated 3-story farmhouse was originally built in 1905 and is celebrating its 120th year with a total modern makeover inside and out.

Offering 4 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this home blends historic charm with contemporary finishes. Soaring ceilings and oversized rooms provide an open, airy feel throughout. EVERYTHING is brand new — including the roof, windows, siding, flooring, paint, kitchen, baths, plumbing, electrical, privacy fence, and even fresh sod and seed for your outdoor spaces. A brand-new gas furnace and water heater will be installed before closing.

The main living area spans 1,669 sq ft, with even more finished space in both the third floor and basement — perfect for extra bedrooms, a home office, gym, or entertainment area.

Future-minded buyers take note: owner-occupants may be eligible to purchase the adjacent 30' x 100' lot (1464 Helen) from the Detroit Land Bank Authority — a rare chance to expand your yard, garden, or investment footprint.

Location is everything, and 1470 Helen delivers: just a half mile from Belle Isle, the Detroit Yacht Club, and the award-winning Detroit Riverwalk. Enjoy walkable access to historic Indian Village, West Village, and the E. Jefferson corridor, packed with dining, culture, and community.

Whether you're looking for a turn-key home in a fast-growing neighborhood or a savvy investment in Detroit's comeback, this one checks every box. Don't miss your chance to own a fully revitalized Detroit gem!
