Property Description
Bring your vision to this rare single-family home conversion opportunity on a beautiful, quiet, tree-lined street in sensational Lincoln Square location!! Pristine, updated, brick 2-flat on extra-wide lot. Traditional floor plans. Both units feature combination living room/sun rooms, separate dining rooms, kitchens with walk-in pantries, enclosed back porches, original hardwood flooring, vintage crown molding and original doors.

Kitchens and baths in both units updated in 1992. Full, unfinished basement features laundry facilities, work bench, two cedar-lined closets, an abundance of storage space and both interior & exterior access. New roof, new plumbing risers, and extensive tuck pointing (including lentils) in 2020. Sewer lines rodded in 2024. New boiler in 2025. Updated 100 amp electrical service with separate circuit breaker panels for each unit. Very well maintained overall. Detached, split garage. Property is zoned RS-3.
