    • Under construction; approved plans included to convert a single‑family into a 4‑floor two‑family
    • Building currently offers 3 floors of living space with 4 bedrooms
    • Partially finished walk‑out basement with tenants in place until August 2026
    • Plans call for two duplex units with generous square footage
    • By‑right FAR of 2.0 allows expanding the living area further

    Overview

    The property at 401 W 4th St consists of a multifamily structure currently configured with three floors of living space, totaling four bedrooms, and a partially finished walk-out basement. The sale includes approved plans to develop the site into a four-floor two-family layout. The provided plans outline a duplex-style concept with generous living area, along with an opportunity to extend the living footprint further by maximizing the by-right FAR of 2.0.

    The property is zoned R1, and it sits on a relatively small site of 0.0342 acres. Tenants are in place, and the current occupancy is scheduled to continue until August 2026, which is an important consideration for timing a renovation or construction effort.

    For buyers, the included approved plans are a practical advantage for anyone looking to reposition the property as a four-floor two-family. The existing configuration and partial basement finish may support interim operations while the project is prepared. Because the plans call for additional living space and take into account the by-right FAR, this offering is well suited for owners who want a defined development pathway rather than starting from scratch. Following completion, the buyer can evaluate whether to hold the improvements as rentals or pursue a condominium-style ownership approach, depending on their end-use goals.
