I’m genuinely excited about these three parcels. I researched them extensively in the past and even reached out to the owner because this was a spot where I dreamed of building my own Passive House. The location is truly stellar. A treeline owned by the railway separates it from the highway, and you have a park right in your front yard. It’s a short walk to the vibrant Walnut Hills business district, and you can be downtown in three minutes by car or ten minutes by bike.
This is an urban oasis, more central than you could imagine. My family and I used to live just a few blocks north, which is why it was on my radar for so long.
The three parcels combined measure 75’x100′ and are zoned RMX. This offers incredible flexibility. You could combine them for a spacious single-family home, build three separate three-unit buildings to create a nine-unit complex, or construct three individual single-family homes. A single, larger three-unit building is another great option. The possibilities on this site are vast.
The back of the property slopes down a hill, and I’m confident a second-story view would offer an incredible vista of downtown. While you would need to manage the noise from the interstate, a well-designed Passive House would ensure the interior remains beautifully quiet and clean.
I wish I had the capital to develop these myself. But if this project sparks your interest, let’s talk. This could be the perfect site for a sustainable small development or an incredible urban dream home.
