    What's special

    Incredible opportunity to create the home of your dreams in Germantown! The size of the home and lot are awesome with the property exceeding 5,500 sq ft (above ground) and the lot is over 235 feet deep and 40 feet wide. Conveniently located just off Germantown Ave and the Blvd, close to shopping, public transit and major highways, and only a 10 minute walk to LaSalle University. This detached home spans 3 stories, plus a full basement, with the space to suit any desires in the main house but there is more! On the rear of the property sits a second structure/ 2+ car garage with a loft space above. Again, let your imagination run wild with all the awesome possibilities you can create not to mention the enormous yard. The front porch is just the beginning of the original charm the home still maintains, as well as original railings throughout. The property is in a shell condition with the major demolition complete already so it is ready to be put back together again and turned into the masterpiece that is possible. Previously the home was set up as a quadplex, with unit 1 on the first floor, unit 2 and 3 on the 2nd floor and the 4th unit on the 3rd floor. The home can be utilized in many ways including a massive single family with potential for an inlaw suite, home office, or so many other uses with all the space. Please see videos for additional information. Schedule your showing today, before this awesome project is taken by someone else. Seller strongly prefers offers without contingencies. Buyers are responsible for completing their own due diligence regarding zoning, approved uses, etc. Seller and Seller's representatives make no claims about current zoning and approved uses.
