Meanwhile, school is out at 4731 S. Ellis Ave. The Harvard School has been sold to local developers Duncan Harris and Steve Soble, who plan to convert the property in the Kenwood Historical District into four condominiums and one single-family home.

Sutherland and Pearsall will build three- and four-bedroom townhouses ranging from 1,850 sf to 2,500 sf with two-car garages. Units in the $3.3-million project will range from $309,000 to $409,000. The site has been vacant for more than 10 years, and was acquired by the city through demolition liens.

Harvard Condominiums, LLC paid $765,000 for the school, according to property records., which included four buildings dating back to 1917 and a 5,000-sf gymnasium added about 60 years ago. "After investigating several options, we are thrilled to find a buyer who had a viable plan that was sensitive to the historic district," says US Equities executive vice president Martin Stern, who represented the school along with assistant vice president Yolanda Valle.
