The Heights

This property is being used as a two family home and would probably be so much nicer if it would be converted back to one. The home has a lot of original features like the floors, pocket doors, and stained glass windows we can see in the attic/third floor. Four garages come included with the purchase (which if someone buys please paint and put in windows). The balcony and porch look like the perfect place to enjoy a nice cup of tea. Next door is the newly rehabilitated Nora Cronin Academy.

We looked at this property last year. At the time there were no interior photos. The listing has now been revamped with new photos and a lower price, about $70k less. Seems like the owners are motivated. It’s a gorgeous huge house on the corner of Liberty Street and Carson. There is the potential for it to be a showpiece property of the Heights neighborhood. It’s been cut up and been made into a multi-family property. There are many more photos on the website listing.

This house has been through a transformation over the past few years. In 2008 it looked completely different. It was boarded up and in disrepair. Then in April of this year, we were able to speak to the owner and find out more about the work he had been doing for the past 5 years. The current owner, Chris, had to level the entire house which had as much as a six inch slope. He also uncovered a beautiful wood staircase that had been covered up. The bathroom was renovated with custom cabinetry, a granite counter top, a claw tub and a hand cut stone floor that he designed, cut and installed since Chris is a stone sculptor. He also did amazing work to the stone cut patio he installed himself. There are no interior photos posted with this listing, but you can see a bunch here and here. All this home needs now is a new owner who will continue the restoration work.

This is a house on Courtney with a lot of nice original details that could shine with some work. Right now you can see the main entrance was adjusted to make it a 2 family. It would be really nice to see this property converted back to a one family and that chain link fence surrounding the property removed for a white picket fence.

There are some interesting additions in the rear, and the driveway space is something almost never seen in the Heights. It still has enough details that it could be restored quite nicely, and we happen to find the retro kitchen quite charming. Get your crowbar ready, there’s a whole lot of wood paneling here.
