Charming Cathedral Park cottage on a great street just blocks to downtown St Johns and Cathedral Park on a full 50 x 100 lot. Needs updating, but there's a lot of potential here with a lot of curb appeal, a light and bright interior and it's priced to sell! Don't miss the adorable finished shed at the top of the lot with views to Forest Park and the St Johns Bridge. Lots of storage space in the full unfinished basement. [Home Energy Score = 7.

RM2
S
D
Residential Multi-Dwelling 2 zone
The RM2 zone is a medium-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in and around a variety of centers and corridors that are well-served by transit. Allowed housing is characterized by buildings of up to three or four stories with a higher percentage of building coverage than in the RM1 zone, while still providing opportunities for landscaping and outdoor spaces that integrate with residential neighborhood characteristics. The major types of new housing development will be a diverse range of multi-dwelling structures and other compact housing that contribute to the intended urban scale of centers and corridors, while providing transitions in scale and characteristics to lower-scale residential neighborhoods.
