THE LOT

3142 Parkview

Bordered by the Pleasant Ridge business district to the north, Nativity Catholic Church and School to the east and Pleasant Ridge Park to the south, 3142 Parkview is a 45' x 114' lot with a Residential Mixed (RMX) zoning, which permits the construction of 1-3 family dwellings. The lot slopes up from the street but levels off to provide a flat building site. The result is a lot conducive to a long, narrow house plan with a side driveway leading to a detached rear garage, similar to other homes on the street. Prior to closing on the lot, I was able to determine the availability of utilities, have the soils tested for buildability and hazardous materials, and confirm the title was free and clear. A few trees and overgrown shrubs were also removed from the site as required for construction. Below are some images of the site.
