But hereâs the catch: Itâll cost $20,000 to move it
TAYLOR, Mich. - A buck is all it will take to buy a bungalow in one Detroit suburb.
That's what Taylor officials are asking for a two-story Arts and Crafts-style home built in 1926 that features four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The catch? City officials say the buyer of the 2,110-square-foot fixer must move it from its current location no later than May 31, because it sits on property they'd like to add to a nearby park.
Records reviewed by The Detroit News indicate the city about 15 miles southwest of Detroit bought the home for $76,415 after it went into foreclosure last year.
Officials estimate moving the home will cost at least $20,000.
If no buyer comes forward, the city will demolish the home this spring.
