    What's special

    Discover the charm and potential of this historic multi-family property, currently zoned for two units but featuring three distinct living spaces. This home is perfect for both investors and owner-occupants, offering a versatile layout across three finished floors and an oversized 1-car garage. Enjoy a flexible living arrangement with character-filled spaces. The third-floor 2-bedroom unit can easily be converted into 3 bedrooms. The second-floor unit features 10' raised ceilings, a large kitchen with a pantry, a living room with a fireplace (non-functional), and a wrap-around deck (in need of repair). The first floor, previously a café, is now a cozy 1-bedroom apartment with an oversized bathroom featuring a hot tub. The property also boasts front and back porch access, a garage, and a charming side yard with a koi pond. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history in the historic district. Step back in time and enjoy the unique character and versatile living spaces this property offers. Buyers are responsible for checking with the city about all zoning requirements surrounding the historic district and conversion from 2 to 3 units. With no current tenants or leases, this property is ready for immediate possession.
