About This Home

78 Water Street

Investor Special in the Heart of Lyons! Attention investors, developers, and visionaries! This three-story boarding house located at 78–82 Water Street offers a rare opportunity to restore a historically utilized 12-room income property with additional office space on the lower level. Formerly fully occupied and income-producing, the building has been vacant for the past 4–6 months and is currently condemned, requiring updates to bring it back up to code. Located in the center of Lyons, just steps from Central Park, this property boasts excellent visibility, walkability, and proximity to local shops, government offices, and the Erie Canal. Once revitalized, it could serve as a multi-unit rental, boarding house, or even be reimagined into a live-work space or community housing project. With its size, location, and layout, this property has strong redevelopment potential—perfect for a buyer with a plan and the ability to breathe life back into a centrally located staple of the Lyons community.
