Perched up on the hill off Ridge Road, this 1.5-story home offers a massive footprint that you just don't see in standard rehabs. With over 2,000 sq. ft. of above-grade living space and an additional 1,000+ sq. ft. in the basement, the scale here is huge. The Layout: The upper level features a massive master bedroom footprint, offering a layout that can easily be converted into a high-value suite. Solid Structure: This house is built like a tank. It needs a full remodel--including a new roof and full interior gut--but the bones are very solid and the foundation is set high on a desirable hilltop lot. The Bottom Line: If you know the Glen Park market, you know the ARV potential for a house this size. This is a total overhaul project for a serious investor who wants to bring a prominent property back to life.
