Description

Rare to the market, this Riverside house in the same family for nearly a century; ready for a new life; needs complete restoration-rebuilding; small but sweet garden area; no room for off street parking but rental parking is often available next door & nearby. We think this house was built as a side-by-side 2 fam, but is recognized by the City as a single; buyer to do due diligence; probably best renovated as a single family; not likely to be allowed to go back to 2 units.Rare to the market, this Riverside house in the same family for nearly a century; ready for a new life; needs complete restoration-rebuilding; small but sweet garden area; no room for off street parking but rental parking is often available next door & nearby.
