The location is the first reason you want to live at 284 Riverside Drive! Just one block from the new and improved AB Ford Park (and over the canal is Riverfront Lakewood East Park but wait…there is more…next is Mariner Park!) The next reason you want to live here is the huge size of the home…it was a two-family dwelling converted to a single-family house decades ago…3098 square feet, six bedrooms, two baths, enormous (the living room and the family room are both 14x18). If you don’t need that much space the option is there to return it to a two family, live in one unit and rent the other. More reasons include replaced windows (many of them large…lots of light); three-dimensional shingles and sizable baths. You can create your own version of “Home Sweet Home” at 284 Riverside Drive now!
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
