About This Home

Investor special! This spacious property at 820 Franklin St offers approximately 2,000 square feet of renovation potential with 5 to 6 bedrooms and space to accommodate 2 to 3 bathrooms. With its generous layout, the property is well-suited as a single family residence or even conversion into a multi-unit dwelling or a rooming house—subject to city zoning and building permit approvals. Electric is already in place, with water and plumbing to be connected during the renovation. Being sold as-is, this is a prime opportunity for value-add investors or visionaries looking to customize a large footprint. Property can be purchased individually or as part of a package deal with a nearby vacant lot on Chestnut St. Contact us today for additional details and to schedule a showing.
