Property Description
**PHOTOS COMING SOON** PREVIEWS HAPPENING NOW** Welcome to 1218 St. Marks Avenue, a thoughtfully renovated semi-detached two-family townhouse in the heart of historic Weeksville, offering flexibility, income, and long-term upside on a massive 20' × 127' lot. This home offers approximately ~2,658 square feet of total interior space, including ~1,858 square feet across two residential floors and a ~800 square foot finished basement with a full bathroom. In addition, there is ~4,300 square feet of unused FAR, creating exceptional future development potential. The result is a property that delivers both immediate livability and substantial long-term opportunity. Lower Garden Duplex The owner's residence is a sun-filled two-bedroom, two-bath garden duplex with three exposures and an oversized kitchen boasting a dramatic skylight. The layout is generous and intuitive, offering excellent flow for daily living and entertaining, with direct access to the backyard that makes indoor-outdoor living effortless. The oversized backyard, measuring approximately 80 feet deep by 20 feet wide, is fully decked and thoughtfully tiered, creating multiple outdoor zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining. Create a duplex by combining the first floor apartment with the finished basement. This bonus space is ideal for a media room, gym, or art studio. The lower level includes a full bathroom and direct access to the front yard, adding versatility, storage, and future customization options. Upper Loft Residence The second floor features a two-bedroom, one-bath residence with strong rental income potential and distinctive architectural character. High ceilings, exposed beams, three exposures, an open-plan kitchen with an island, and a skylight that bathes the apartment in natural light gives the main living space a loft-like feel. The oversized primary bedroom offers an alcove layout that also has space for a proper bedroom set. The second room-currently used as a walk-in closet-can easily be reconfigured as a nursery or home office. The apartment is move-in ready and so appealing that it could just as easily serve as the owner's residence. Expansion Opportunity Set on a 20' × 128' lot with approximately 4,300 square feet of additional buildable FAR, the property presents a compelling opportunity to expand when ready (subject to architect review and DOB approvals). Whether your vision includes additional living space or long-term value creation, the potential here is significant.
