Two storefront-style spaces at the front of the building provide outstanding flexibility for offices, studios, workshops, storage, hobby space, or potential commercial uses. The finished third floor offers additional rooms and bonus space for storage, work, or expanded living arrangements. Exterior features include maintenance-free vinyl siding, architectural roof, a large attached garage/workshop, and a detached 3-car garage with rare brick-laid flooring.
