Gracious and Spacious: Opportunity Knocks. Rare offering—this huge two-family was once a grand single-family home. Builders and contractors take note: restore it to its original glory, create two luxury condominiums, or explore other possibilities. With over 3,600 sq. ft. of living space, the property boasts high ceilings, spacious rooms, (many with walk-in closets), hardwood floors, and even mahogany details in some rooms. Both units feature fireplaces (previously working). Unbeatable location—walk to shops, restaurants, and the movie theater, with the T line just one block away. This is a gut rehab and may not qualify for traditional financing. Group showings only, starting Friday the 19th.
