Key Characteristics & Appeal

This home at 254 Stuart Avenue in River East presents a compelling case based on its space and land. With 1,791 sqft of living area, it offers significantly more interior space than most homes on its street and in the wider neighborhood. The standout feature, however, is the 10,578 sqft lot, which places it in the top 5% city-wide for land size. This combination of a spacious house on a very large lot is uncommon, especially in this area.

Its appeal lies in this generous footprint, offering room to grow, garden, or simply enjoy outdoor privacy. The assessed value of $423k is above average for the immediate street but aligns with broader area averages, suggesting the price reflects the substantial lot. Built in 1969, it is typical for the street but slightly older than many homes in the wider River East neighborhood.

This property would suit buyers prioritizing yard space over a newer build—ideal for families, gardening enthusiasts, or those looking for long-term expansion potential. It’s a home for someone who values the inherent value of land and is comfortable with the maintenance and potential updates that come with a solidly built, mid-century house.
