1.63-Acre Chesterfield Ranch with Strong Redevelopment Potential

What sets 26936 Kuchenmeister Street apart is the land: a level, 1.63-acre parcel with approximately 150 feet of street frontage on a quiet Chesterfield residential lane. The property’s footprint and generous lot size create clear options for an investor, builder, or homeowner seeking substantial outdoor space or a redevelopment opportunity inside a stable suburban setting. With public water, septic, and utility service from DTE and Consumers Energy, the site is well-served even as the existing structure shows its age.

The existing single-story ranch, built in 1948, totals roughly 1,470 square feet and contains two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Construction is wood-frame with vinyl siding, asphalt shingle roof, and a crawl-space foundation. Heating is baseboard from a boiler; there is no central air. A detached two-car garage sits on the parcel, and vehicle access is provided by a standard driveway from Kuchenmeister Street. The house is currently vacant and is assessed as being in poor condition—most of the current market value is tied to the land itself rather than the improvements.

Zoned R1C (single-family residential) with standard municipal setbacks (front 30', side 10', rear 35'), the lot is straightforward for a replacement build or for a long-term land-holding strategy. Comparable nearby sales demonstrate the land premium in this part of Chesterfield: nearby properties with newer construction and smaller lots have traded significantly higher on a per-square-foot basis. The subject recently sold on February 9, 2026 for $85,000, reflecting that dynamic and the cost to renovate versus rebuild.

Beyond the parcel, this address sits in L'anse Creuse Public Schools. Green Elementary is approximately 1.4 miles away, L'anse Creuse High School - North is about 2.2 miles, and the middle school campus noted in data is roughly 2.8 miles. The property is part of the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn MSA and falls within Macomb County—positioning it within reach of regional employment centers while retaining a suburban residential character.

This offering will appeal to developers, builders, or contractors looking for a sizable lot with clear redevelopment options, as well as buyers who value private outdoor acreage close to township schools. Because the house is in poor condition, showings and access should be coordinated with the listing agent; buyers should verify all dimensions, zoning and title matters, and estimate demolition or renovation costs as part of their due diligence.

This section of Chesterfield Township is predominantly residential, offering large lots and a suburban rhythm close to schools. The property sits inside the L'anse Creuse Public Schools district, with Green Elementary, L'anse Creuse Middle School - East, and L'anse Creuse High School - North all within a few miles. Macomb County amenities and regional commuting corridors are within easy reach, placing the home inside the broader Detroit-Warren-Dearborn MSA while preserving a quieter, neighborhood feel.
