Wardway Avalon in Pontiac, Michigan

My recent posts about a neighborhood of Wardway homes reminded me that I had come across one of these homes prior to discovering the larger neighborhood of homes. This Wardway Avalon is located at 740 Joslyn. Unfortunately, the reason I discovered this house was its inclusion on a list of homes that were up for auction after being foreclosed on for failure to pay property taxes. For a foreclosure house, it doesn't look to be in bad shape from the outside and still has some of the original features of the Avalon model. Let's hope that it has a new owner who will take good care of it.

The enclosed porch on the back of the house wouldn't have been original to the house.

Is this garage original to the house? Could be! 

Note: We haven't authenticated this as a Wardway house. While it's an excellent match for the Avalon, we've only done a visual identification of the house.

  1. I used to own this house. From 2000 to 2002 my husband and I lived here. We had no idea of its history!
