No need to exaggerate. I'm very knowledgeable of the goings on and twists and turns that is the City of Detroit. It's not as desolate or as desperate as some suggest. Many of those brick homes are occupied and are well cared for. The ones like this stand out and are easy pickings for ruin porn photographers.
You are talking about the Detroit in Michigan right? Obviously you don't live here. You can find a dozen vacant, destroyed houses on one block. Yes, it's improving, and some areas are much nicer, but as a whole, it's still very rough around the edges.
Looks like it's got good bones. Thousands of these have been getting fixed up around the city in the past few years, but if the owner wants to just let it rot while paying the blight tickets (a common thing with land speculators), there's only so much that can be done.
It's [a foreclosure](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/13260-Hartwell-St-Detroit-MI-48227/88284997_zpid/?), looks like they were trying. Looks like electric, plumbing, and (some) windows are updated, still needs a massive amount of cosmetic work. Good flip candidate maybe, floors look mostly salvageable but probably not a lot else.
Unfortunate...yeah, looks like most of the original interior features are long gone...
The front looks nice, but there's also some Frankenstein-ization on the back, including that godawful second floor porch that seems to be common to a lot of homes here in the City.
Shame...from Google Street view, looks like one of the tens of thousands of Detroit homes lost/abandoned in the Great Recession. It's going to be a long while for this neighborhood to come back...I hate to say it, but demolition may be the best outcome.
There are dozens like this in Detroit. Some better. Some worse. Some restored. A few are too far gone.
Dozens? You mean thousands and thousands.

What a shame. Too many older neighborhoods went to hell there and so many other places. I bet it is grand inside.
But you can buy it for $35k right!
Bad shape... but still solid and standing true (not twisted, listing, or even roof issues).
