Welcome to 827 Fairview! This historic home has more character than its Hollywood cameo in Touchback and more potential than almost anywhere else on the Belknap lookout. Perched right on the lookout and next door to Belknap Park, you get sweeping city views, front-row seats to fireworks on the 4th of July, park life at your doorstep, and one of the largest lots in the area at nearly half an acre. Plus, you're just minutes from the Medical Mile and downtown, making commutes and appointments effortless. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,523 finished square feet and a real choice: restore its original character into something special, or clear the path to build new. Investors and developers with vision will see the possibilities immediately, lots this size, in this location, don't come up often. Call today for your showing! All offers due Monday 8/17 @ Noon.
