About This Home
This vacant 2 family house is set on Prospect Hill, Union Square, overlooking the neighborhood buildings. City records indicate that it was built right around 1900. The scale of most of the rooms is generous, with high cellings and tall windows, including 4 bay windows. Each apartment has a separate front entrance. Both have access from inside to the basement (~934 s.f.). There is a long driveway that can fit 2-3 parking spaces, depending on size of vehicles. The back yard is sizable for a city yard. The overall condition of the property is reasonably functional, but many prospective buyers would likely want to improve the apartments. This property is being sold "as-is"- The floor plans provided are intended to help people consider how they might use the interior spaces, but are strictly for marketing purposes. Buyers to do their own due diligence. Offers, if any, are due by 4:00pm on Thursday, September 18th, and responded to by Monday the 22nd, the response deadline.
