About this home

Location, location, location! A rare and wonderful opportunity in the beautiful Fort Hill neighborhood. This single-family house sits across Highland (Fort Hill) Park on the one side, with panoramic sunset and city views on the other. The property is zoned 3F- 4000 on a 4493 Square foot lot. There is an existing approved and active permit for a full gut renovation and addition. The plan was put together by a team of local, award-winning architects. The current permit allows for a 3623 square foot 5 bedroom 3.5 bath single family but can easily be converted into 2 units once construction has been completed. It is a short walk to the T, Horatio Park, Fort Hill, Nubian Square, minutes to Longwood Medical Area, restaurants, shops, JP & South End. Being sold 'AS IS' - owner makes no warranties of any kind, expressed or implied. Buyer due diligence required. Property is currently rented until July 31, 2026.

AI comment

This is primarily a redevelopment or major renovation opportunity rather than a conventional move-in purchase. The strongest appeal is the approved active permit, Fort Hill location, park proximity, and stated city/sunset views. However, the as-is sale, current tenancy through July 31, 2026, and need for buyer due diligence make timing, financing, and execution risk significant. It may be best suited to buyers comfortable with construction, permitting, and long-hold planning.

PROS
- Approved and active permit for a full gut renovation and addition.
- Planned scope allows for a larger 3,623 sq ft single-family layout with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths.
- Zoned 3F-4000, with listing stating potential conversion to 2 units after construction.
- Fort Hill location near Highland Park, Horatio Park, the T, Nubian Square, Longwood Medical Area, JP, and the South End.
- Existing features include porch, deck, range, refrigerator, washer, and dryer.

CONS
- Being sold “as is,” with owner making no warranties; condition risk is high.
- Property is currently rented until July 31, 2026, which may limit near-term occupancy or construction timing.
- Existing home has only 1 full bath for 6 listed bedrooms, suggesting current layout may be functionally outdated.
- No garage spaces or parking details are provided.
- Data inconsistency to verify: lot size appears as 4,493 sq ft in the description/listing field, while the acres field shows 4,493.0 acres.
