    • Former one‑bed, one‑bath cottage built in 1940, with vinyl siding and vinyl flooring
    • Converted/updated for commercial use, with currently residential zoning and potential for business with a special use permit
    • Capped plumbing in place from earlier hair salon use, plus washer/dryer combo and dryer included
    • Heating and cooling: forced air heating and central air
    • Large paved, fenced parking area in back with space for approximately 8–10 vehicles
    • Fenced exterior features for added privacy and security

    Overview

    This former one-bed, one-bath cottage has been thoughtfully updated for commercial use while retaining the character of a residence. The property is ready for a next operator, with capped plumbing in place from its earlier days as a hair salon, which may support businesses looking to build out services or operations within the existing utilities. The most recent use was a pet spa, giving the layout a practical starting point for client-focused service concepts.

    The property is currently zoned residential, and the listing notes that it may accommodate a variety of business types with a special use permit. A large, paved and fenced parking area is located in the back, with space for approximately 8 to 10 vehicles, which can be helpful for customer access and off-street convenience.

    For the right buyer, this could be a flexible small-business footprint for uses such as a retail boutique, insurance office, law practice, creative studio, or other client-facing operation that can work through the special use permit path. Pre-approved buyers only are requested, with local financing preferred.
