The existing home which dates back to 1892 was sold last month for $682,000 and will be demolished to make way for the three-unit, four-story including basement project on the 2,990-square-foot lot. The finished product will deliver 4,269 square feet of habitable space divided into two three-bedroom, and one four-bedroom apartment which will take up the basement and ground floors. The remaining two floors will be full-floor units along with a rooftop deck for all to use.
