518 Roberts Lane does not fit neatly into a typical category. The residence was reconstructed after a fire in 2022, making it essentially new construction on a well-established, nearly one-acre lot. Per zoning map, the property carries split zoning — C-2 PD on the front portion and R-2 on the rear — creating flexibility rarely available in a property this size at this price point.
518 Roberts Lane sits in an established residential and commercial community at the corner of Higgins and Roberts Lane. The original 1927 home was rebuilt following a fire in 2022 — new roof, plumbing, electrical, and a new wall furnace and evaporative cooler, all brought up to current code with permits fully closed out (permit issued 11/10/2021, completed 10/11/2022). At 1,000 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, it offers a clean, low-maintenance footprint without the deferred-maintenance baggage of an older home.
The larger opportunity is the land. The parcel spans 40,510 square feet — just under an acre — with two separate water meters already in place, one serving the residence and one serving the rear of the lot.
