Our Take

28 Grove Street is a shingle-style farmhouse with character details inside and out, tall first-floor ceilings, and a flexible layout. The property is in a Business C Zone, with options for continued single-family use or redevelopment as mixed-use or commercial space. Expansion opportunities are noted on the second and third floors. A detached rear building, formerly used by a local shoe cobbler, provides a separate outbuilding. The home has been cherished by the same family for nearly a century.

Read the full listing description

This lovingly cared for shingle style farmhouse has been cherished by the same family for nearly a century! Situated in a Business C Zone, this property can be enjoyed for continued single family use or redeveloped to maximize its potential as mixed use or entirely commercial. Bring your vision as the sky is the limit in this sought after in-town location; closely proximate to the best shops, restaurants and Metro North Railroad! At present this home offers character details inside and out, tall ceilings on the first floor, a flexible layout and opportunities to expand on the 2nd and 3rd floor for even more square footage. In rear is a 170sf detached building which once housed a local shoe cobbler! Changing to a mixed use or commercial use (retail or office) would open up options to expand the footprint and take maximum advantage. Do not hesitate to ask listing agent about potential uses.
