"BEFORE" REHAB OF 1510 MAIN -FRONT "BEFORE" REHAB OF 1510 MAIN - REAR PHOTO
This home will be transformed from a tired, old farmhouse into a vibrant, totally rehabbed home on a deep 170 foot lot. Only the existing foundation, outer walls on the 1st floor & the first floor joists will be retained. The existing top half-story will be removed & a new story + one-half will be added. When completed, this home will be about 2,650 square feet on 4 levels, including the finished basement which is being dug deeper to achieve added height. We expect this sweet new listing to be offered in the early Spring of 2010. Watch that space!
