Welcome to a very RARE development opportunity in Havertown. This surprisingly large & level 1.27 acre lot offers an unfinished home (approximately 3,932 sq/ft) along with a very large detached cinder block garage (approximately 30'x 42') with 13 ft tall garage doors. Frontage of 149' by depth of 442'. Whether you are a contractor looking for a great space to make your own, looking to develop or someone looking for land and hoping to build a new custom home, this property offers loads of potential. Additionally, the size of the lot may offer an opportunity to sub-divide, however, based on preliminary evaluation, would need potential variances to gain approval through the zoning board. The house is under roof with a drywalled 2nd floor, but no fixtures. 1st floor is studs only.
