A rare fixer-upper in an excellent school district. A once-in-a-lifetime chance for the right family to build equity fast with basic repairs and renovations. Much more affordable than apartment living with many possibilities for your vision to be achieved. Within walking distance Baldwin Elementary School in the award winning Rochester Public Schools. Enjoy Paint Creek trail just blocks away. Easy access to major highways and civic centers yet a country like setting. The core mechanicals are recently new (approximately 2023) and the structure is solid. Windows were replaced circa 2009. The basement features a daylight window providing the opportunity for a third bedroom or additional recreation room. Well water with city sewer. Sadly this opportunity comes due to the passing of the longtime owners and the property is being sold to settle the estate. The owner's personal representative is marketing this property "As Is" and no repairs or assurances can be made whatsoever. The family desires a quick sale and cash offers will be entertained first and foremost. Act fast as this will not last long. Images contain some personal items yet to be removed but any items left in the home upon closing will be the responsibility of the buyer. All Zillow generated house features, sizes, and information are considered estimates. All prospective buyers are responsible for their own due diligence. The personal representative reserves the right to reject any offer for any legal reason deemed in the interest of the estate. The sale is also subject to oversight of the probate court, however, it is expected the sale closing will not be delayed by any procedural requirements.
Oakland, located between Rochester Road and Adams Road, is a residential and park-adjacent Rochester Hills neighborhood with winding subdivision streets and a strong trail-and-greenway feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Rochester Road corridor near Downtown Rochester, where sidewalk dining, indie storefronts, and evening foot traffic set the tone. Architectural cues lean toward late-20th-century colonials and ranches, with mature trees and generous setbacks shaping the streetscape. Paint Creek Trail adds a linear outdoor spine for walks and bike rides. Meadow Brook Hall and the Meadow Brook Amphitheatre bring a cultural counterpoint to the quiet blocks. Seasonal events and farmers-market energy in Downtown Rochester round out the day-to-day rhythm.
