Editor’s note: The story has been edited to remove references of litigation between the homeowner and Eastern Michigan University.

A house that was part of a controversial road-widening project in Ypsilanti a few years back is now on the market.

But Tyler Stipe, the Re/Max real estate agent representing the homeowner says the house isn’t being marketed as just a residential property, due to where it’s located in the city.

The house, located at 1002 Washtenaw Rd. in Ypsilanti borders the west side of Eastern Michigan University’s campus.

“The university is right there. It’s basically at the entrance is to EMU,” Stipe said.

Although it is currently a single-family home, the listing for the house suggests it can be turned into a multi-family home, doctor’s office or coffee shop as the house is zoned for core neighborhood use.

Covering approximately 3,300 square feet, the house has six bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, along with a full finished basement. Two kitchens are in the bungalow house, making the home ideal for a bed and breakfast, according to Stipe.

The house is listed for $375,000 and is located on the corner of Oakwood Street and Washtenaw Road. City records show the house has an assessed value of $74,600 giving it an estimated fair market value of $149,200.

“Potentially, someone could buy that property and build a commercial building,” Stipe said.

In the past, homeowner Joe Golder has been outspoken about a 2011 joint project approved by Ypsilanti City Council and Eastern Michigan University that widened a portion of Oakwood and Washtenaw near his property.

Golder said the project went beyond the right-of-way, encroaching on his property. He also said he believed his land was illegally taken from him when the project was approved.

Stipe acknowledged that litigation is pending between Golder and the city of Ypsilanti. However, Stipe said the litigation will not impact the property going forward, as the widening of the road has already happened.
