What a find!<b>This is a package price for both the House and the adjoining Vacant Lot</B> Here's your chance to own and/or build in Hampton Park. This includes a 1920's cottage over 2400sf w/ 4br/2ba. High ceilings on both stories. This home has a basement - what? there's not many homes downtown with a basement (seller never has water issues, etc). With a little sweat, this could be a real gem. Similar sized homes have sold for well over $550K. Wainscoting, pocket doors, hardwood floors(under carpet)... lots of character here. Come see! 2 havac units ('96, '00), 200 amp. Formal living, formal dining, study/parlor. The adjacent vacant lot is 45X117 - you could easily build a similar house OR just hold onto the lot and use as a sideyard, etc...
