Conveniently located on a quiet street within short distance to North St, it's minutes away from restaurants, shopping and offers easy access to the bus station. The property also includes plenty of on-site paved parking and has an expansive yard.
The property is zoned RM (Residential Multi), allowing for a variety of potential uses, including a multi-family residence, office conversion, or a grand single-family estate.
