About this home
What if your home could produce as much energy as it uses? At 2516 Townsend, we're bringing that idea to life with a new net-zero home in Detroit's Villages neighborhood. Construction is underway, with time for you to make it yours. Designed for energy independence. Solar panels and battery storage generate and store electricity, while geothermal heating and cooling taps into the steady temperature underground. A heat-pump water heater, high-performance building envelope, and fresh-air ventilation work together to reduce energy use without compromising comfort. Modern design, made for everyday life. Two spacious bedrooms, each with a private en suite bathroom, 9-foot ceilings on every level, a work-from-home nook, and a mudroom with a half bath. Black casement windows and a clean, modern exterior give the home its character, while the finished basement adds room for storage, hobbies, or whatever life calls for next. Eligible for Detroit's NEZ New Construction tax abatement, offering significant property tax savings for up to 15 years. Set in The Villages, 2516 Townsend puts local coffee shops, restaurants, and parks within walking distance, with Belle Isle, the Detroit Riverwalk, Downtown, Eastern Market, and Grosse Pointe all just minutes away.
Monthly payment
The uncapped tax line is this home's bill after it uncaps: half the price times 64.18 mills, the 2025 homestead rate here. Insurance is a $2,400/yr placeholder and PMI 0.55% of the loan below 20% down. An estimate, not a loan quote.
