PRLog -- What is probably the most interesting vacant lot in Manhattan, is up for sale for the first time in 25 years. The lot is unique in that besides being huge in size and going through the block and having frontage on two streets, the lot also has an enormous outcrop of rock which also provides a view of the City. One can not but think of some of the amazing ultra-modern Californian mountainside homes designed in the 1950's and 1960's by the likes of famous architects such as Richard Neutra, John Lautner and others. Clearly an architectural masterpiece can be built upon this special lot that could well define the future career of a young architect! One can imagine a beautiful home built upon this Manhattan outcrop with a view and plenty of parking. Actually, the lot is zoned such that virtually any type of residential structure. With a little planning, some lucky buyer may be able to build a most spectacular private house, medical office, dental office or even a large coop or condo building! With the soft real estate market, the owner is apparently willing to consider the best acceptable offer, which is a fraction of what it was worth just two years ago. For the same price as a large one bedroom condo, one can own the most interesting lot in Manhattan and with proper planning, build a distinctive private home for probably the same price as a large home in Queens or Great Neck! The lot is the featured property at www.ETNYC.com/
wh this week. It is well worth visiting the ETNYC website and reviewing the photographs, details and proposals covering this chance of a lifetime property!
