About this House

Under Construction! Contractors, investors, and visionaries- this is your opportunity to complete a substantial renovation in a desirable setting. Much of the heavy lifting has already begun, including a new roof, new plumbing, and electrical upgrades with a 200-amp service permit ready to complete. The home has been taken down to the studs and is ready for your design and finishes, with NO siding, drywall, cabinetry, appliances, or landscaping currently in place.

The reverse floor plan offers flexibility with 4 bedrooms (2 upstairs and 2 downstairs), creating space for family, guests, or a home office. The sloped lot provides two distinct outdoor areas, including a sunny lower yard with city light views. Reimagine the street-level entry with a welcoming deck or recreate the former bridge access to the upper level. A detached two-car garage, good parking, and a large storage shed/studio add to the property's potential.

Bring your contractor and your imagination to create a custom home tailored to your style. This is a rare chance to purchase below replacement cost and finish a home exactly the way you want it. Buyer to verify permits, plans, and development potential.
