Townhouses on Flora?

Is a 5442 square foot lot, with one house, actually worth $415,000? If you were to pitch the idea of building 5 townhouses and tossing the tenants out, it might. If you were to do the pitching on Craigslist, it's a sure bet that no one is going to notice:

I have a property in Georgetown that is L2, 5442 sqft and can support 5 townhouse units according to a Legal Building Site Letter from DPD. I have a topo survey already but have not done a geotech analysis. I’m interested in doing a joint venture build or selling the property. If I sell outright I’d like to get 415,000 but will consider any reasonable offer. Please contact me if you’d like more information or to set up a meeting. The property is occupied so I'd like to talk with any iterested [sic] parties before disclosing the address.

Carleton Ave S at S Flora St


No one should consider letting anyone know that their landlord is about to sell. I'm just sayin'.

The person who posted this ad has problems. First of all, there's no such address as "Flora and Carleton." Second, if the house is on Flora it's zoned single family and you can't build townhouses there.

I'm beginning to wonder if the ad is some kind of prank.

I think the ad has been revised to Warsaw, in lieu of Flora. Anyway, I wonder if it is this property.
