A three-bedroom house has hit the market for just $55,000 - with a very surprising secret hidden in the basement.

Spread across 1,072 square feet of living space, highlights of the house include its historical attention to detail - retaining much of its original character particularly through the vintage kitchen.

The entire lot of the property is a modest 3,049 square feet of space.

Detroit - known for its distinctive Motown music sound from the 1960s - is a city which is lucky enough to have a wide range of hidden and historic Prohibition-era bars. 

It is also famous for being a speakeasy party capital during Prohibition over a century ago - supplying up to 75 per cent of the country's booze from 1920 to 1933.

The home is ready to move-in with as little or as much renovation as the new owner's heart desires.   

The listing describes the property as a perfect opportunity to stop renting and buy a home that allows you to start growing your equity today. 

Alternatively, the property could even suit a real estate investor looking to take on a passive income opportunity.

There are also a range of financing options available.

The home is eligible for the Neighborhood Edge grant program which helps to alleviate the financial burden closing costs may present to some homebuyers.
