This Prime Development Asset in the historic Melrose Hill district is listed at $1,350,000, aligning perfectly with its $1,350,000 Fair Market Value. While the property carries a Condition Rating of 5 due to significant deferred maintenance, the primary value is anchored by the 7,280-square-foot lot and Zoning for nine townhomes. The location offers robust residential demand, supported by proximity to John Marshall Senior High School and Kingsley Elementary. Delivered entirely vacant, this site provides immediate flexibility for high-density construction. This is a strategic acquisition for Real Estate Developers or Value-Add Investors.
