About this home
Selling the family home of more than 60 years was not an easy decision, but after the fire, the scale of the interior rebuild moved beyond what I could take on alone. The condition of the home now creates an opportunity for a new phase, aligned with the needs of an area preparing for a medical center being built close by. The home sits in an area experiencing substantial longterm investment, positioned close to major regional destinations. It is close to the Trinity Advocate redevelopment and within reach of the newly opened Obama Presidential Center. The location also provides access to the lakefront and multiple transportation routes, contributing to a steadily improving development environment. The surrounding neighborhood includes major medical facilities and institutional anchors that support steady demand for both shortterm and extendedstay housing. Ongoing public and private investment reinforces longterm value potential and expands the range of future redevelopment paths available to this property. The exterior maintains its original footprint and presence on the block. The building's envelope remains in place, and the lot coverage is fully preserved. The roof includes an open area. The structure provides a stable and reliable base for redevelopment. The foundation and framing remain solid, creating a strong platform for a future build. The building stands as a durable shell suitable for a full reconstruction project. The interior is firedamaged and requires a complete rebuild. All interior areas have experienced extensive damage and will need full reconstruction. The property is presented as a full interior redevelopment opportunity. Interior photos are available upon request. Embrace the chance to make this house your very own....
