455 MAPLEHURST Street

Are you ready for a true diamond-in-the-rough, Ferndale? This is no doubt a recent verrrrrry rare chance to rejuvenate and glorify a magnificent example of an of-a-kind custom architectural gem in the neighborhood. This stunning, unique, and custom-built Tudor-inspired/colonial home is a supreme example of the eras clinker brick and stone masonry master-craftsmanship and construction. This rock-solid home has been minimally modified since the original build--with almost all of the original custom features intact--down to the crystal doorknobs, kitchen/bath tile, and built-in cabinetry. *With the bonus of a well-built family room addition. The original plaster is in amazingly great condition--a true testament to the solid foundation. The electric service has been recently updated to under-ground supply, with a new meter, and a 200-amp service panel--enough to supply the home with any modern-day needs. The 3-dimensional roof-to-boards is approx 10 years old. The city water supply was just updated with a new line from the street to the meter. Both levels are primarily refinished original oak flooring. The basement is dry, with storage and better-than-average headroom for 1930 construction. But, an antiquated (but still functional) gravity furnace octopus currently occupies some of this space, so please take note... There is certainly a lot of work to be done to bring this home into the modern era, but it has been aggressively priced with likely updates calculated into the equation--the immediate neighborhood values undoubtably support this. Move on this quickly if you desire a fabulous piece of northwest Ferndale, as it will not be on the market long--guaranteed! *Open house Sunday, 7/30 from 1:00 to 4:00. *HIGHEST/BEST DUE 7/30 11:59 PM.
