Package Deal

Across from the Scandinavian linteled houses, close to Second Avenue. Last time I walked by 214 56th Street, the house was for sale.  On a 42 foot double lot, it was a prime development target, and marketed as such.  I'd admired it last time I walked down here, but this time it was looking far more neglected.  "In demo status," as the DOB puts it.  It changed hands several times recently, and was last sold in March for $950,000.  In its place there'll be a five storey, twelve unit apartment building.
