Situated on a highly desirable street-to-alley lot, this duplex-style property features two detached legal buildings, separate gas and electric meters, and highly coveted R-4 High Density Residential Zoning. Whether you are looking to develop high-density housing, build a custom compound, or renovate and cash-flow, this fixer-upper is the blank canvas you have been waiting for. Property Highlights: Front Building: Spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout built in 1927, brimming with character and ready for a modern revival. Rear Building: Separate 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit built between 19351949, offering excellent privacy and independent alley access. Delivered Vacant: No tenant complications. Ready for immediate construction, renovation, or development upon closing.
