Property Details
Description
Welcome to Wadsworth Avenue in Washington Heights. This single family home is one of a few that were built on this street, during the turn of the 20th Century. They are rarely available and today one is now for sale. This house is 30 ft x 20 ft, built in 1901, a single family (R7-2), has 3 floors plus a full basement and is 1,914 s.f. and the Lot Size is 2,248 s.f. The house has 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, the second bath is located in the basement. On the first floor, there is a large living room and dining area, high ceilings, as well as the windowed kitchen with original prewar wood cabinetry from floor to ceiling as well as a separate eating area. The second floor includes 2 bedrooms and a full windowed bathroom, the 3rd floor consists of landing area with a sink, 3 bedrooms, with one small room that would make a great 2nd windowed bathroom. There is an enclosed front and back porch, a deck area, located in the back, as well as a backyard ready for a nice garden. The house itself has good bones but is in need of some serious TLC from top to bottom. This is an opportunity to bring your architect, a little elbow grease to bring this home up to today's modern standards. This is also an opportunity for any investor/developer to look into creating a new building. The FAR for a new building, per TitleVest is: 2,248 x 4 = 8,992, Current building= 1,914 sf, 8,992 - 1,914 = 7,078. Radiator heating system, Fuel: Gas.
