The commercial portion features an office/storefront-style frontage with large display windows and direct street access, supported by front and rear entrances with ADA-accessible sloped entry conditions.

Electrical upgrades include enhanced commercial-grade 220V power capacity, and new Title 24-compliant lighting has been installed throughout. An integrated HVAC system, a new hot water heater, commercial-grade laminate flooring, and an updated restroom support immediate occupancy.

The upper residential unit has been remodeled with fresh interior paint, a new kitchen, and an updated bathroom with a new vanity, mirror, lighting fixtures, and updated tile flooring.

Built in 1942 on a 0.0509-acre lot, the property is served by public water and public sewer and includes central forced-air heating.
