Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This historic mixed-use building has substantial renovations already completed, including new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, spray foam insulation, framing, and rough-ins throughout. Inspections have been passed, leaving the remaining work focused on finishing the space. The second floor is configured as one spacious residential unit with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, office space, and an open-concept living area, along with a laundry/mudroom. The primary suite includes a private bath, and the second bathroom is framed for a custom walk-in shower. Kitchen gas and water hookups are already in place, and tilt-in windows have been ordered for installation.
The main level features repaired original tin ceilings, a restroom, storage space, and flexible commercial areas that can support uses such as retail, office, studio, restaurant, or service-based businesses. Exterior grading improvements have also been completed. The property is listed under Comm zoning.
For an owner-occupant or investor, this structure offers an opportunity to finalize finishes and align the main level with a targeted business concept while maintaining a full residential component above. With the major infrastructure work addressed, the next buyer can focus on selecting finishes and bringing the commercial and residential spaces to completion.
