The property comes with engineering, soils reports, and approved plans for a 1,439 sq ft residence plus an ADU, significantly reducing the time and risk typically associated with historic district approvals.
The 2,544 sq ft lot is quite constrained, which may limit private outdoor yard space and landscaping options even after the proposed expansion is completed.
As a redevelopment opportunity, the buyer must account for significant construction costs beyond the purchase price to transform the existing 764 sq ft structure into the envisioned residence.
