Lothrop Street Renovation

[DetroiterOnTheWestCoast]

I often check out Detroit real estate listings. As we probably all know, there are quite a few "flips" and renovations taking place, compared to a few years ago when there were next to none.

I am most intrigued when I see work being done anywhere beyond the "prime" areas such as B-E, the University District, etc. This recent listing on Lothrop Street caught my attention for that reason.

Its on Lothrop about a block off of LaSalle. So its not far from LaSalle or Grand Blvd or New Center, but it still seems a bit outside of where I'd expect a big renovation on speculation. And the house appears to be a typical Detroit two-family that has been converted into a single family which is unusual; its listed as 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. I'd love to see the revised floor plan.

While the work is not yet finished [[the listing says its four weeks out) the limited photos show bathrooms above and beyond the Home Depot quality that we so often see, and the listing notes that there will be full stainless appliances and copper plumbing. I see siding that is not cheesy vinyl and a new concrete walk and steps. Seems like a nice job. Street view shows the place abandoned and very run down, so its been a substantial undertaking. Anyone have any insights on this section of Lothrop or the area?
