Investment Opportunity! Wow! Check out this incredible investment and/or redevelopment opportunity featuring four adjacent properties (253, 255, 257, 259 W Union St) in a highly desirable Athens location within walking distance of the Ohio University campus. Situated in a high-demand area, this property offers close proximity to campus, historic Court Street, the OhioHealth O'Bleness Hospital complex, and access to the city bus line - making it ideal for future tenants or redevelopment plans. Think long-term rental income with some elbow grease and improvements or consider a complete tear-down and new construction opportunity for anything your heart desires (and the city permits, of course!) With two existing curb cuts off Union St and ATO, out of the floodplain, these homes are ready for a new vision - starting with an incredible location and unlimited future potential. Opportunities to acquire multiple side-by-side properties this close to campus and uptown Athens are rare. This is a unique chance to invest, reimagine, or redevelop in one of Athens' most sought-after areas!
