Victorian charm meets urban convenience in the heart of Midtown Detroit. Welcome to 658 W Forest Ave #2, a charming second-floor condo tucked inside a stately Victorian brick beauty in the heart of Midtown. This place screams old-world character - think hardwood floors, original moldings, and architectural craftsmanship you just don't get in new builds. Step through the stately front entrance into a grand shared foyer, complete with a decorative fireplace and period details that set the tone for this historic gem. Then, head upstairs to your private second-floor unit where old-world craftsmanship meets modern convenience. You'll find an updated, sun-soaked interior with in-unit laundry, stainless steel appliances, and a layout perfect for a single city dweller or dynamic duo. Need some fresh air? Slide out to your own private back deck - ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, or spying on the behind-the-scenes setup of Dally in the Alley, Detroit's biggest community festival (yes, it happens right outside your door). There's even a designated parking space in the alley, so you can skip the street shuffle. You'll be just steps from Wayne State University and within walking distance to a wide array of bars, restaurants, shops, and some of Detroit's most celebrated museums, including the DIA. Take the Q-Line to Downtown and enjoy all the action at Campus Martius & Hart Plaza. The Tigers, Lions, & Pistons are just minutes away, or spend your evenings immersed in Detroit's rich cultural scene - from shows at the Fox Theatre, to performances by the DSO, Jazz Fest and the Electronic Festival. And here's the kicker: it's in the NEZ-H district, so low taxes make this spot even sweeter for owner-occupants. This is the kind of listing people wish they jumped on - don't be one of the ones who says, “We hesitated.†Hesitation is how you end up renting. Midtown magic for under $250K? It's true! Killer price. Prime location. Low taxes. Don't overthink it.
