Opportunity is knocking! In the heart of the Cove, just a few doors down from Lynch Park is where you'll find this rare opportunity to make your new home. Bring your vision to 31 Ober Street and let the ideas flow. Hidden behind the stately iron gates, the home is much larger than it appears from the street. With approximately 2160 square feet on almost 1/3 of an acre, there is tremendous potential. Generous rooms on the first floor include a 25x15 living room with great light. The second floor is semi-finished and is currently accessed only by an exterior staircase, but once you're up there, you'll find lots of space to rework the layout or possibly create an ADU. This is truly a special location in a very desirable neighborhood. Enjoy peeks of the water from the yard and second floor.
