Looking for a property that offers potential and versatility with R3 zoning? The front unit of this property boasts a Craftsman style 2 bedroom, 1 bath home with plenty of character. But that's not all - there's also a partially constructed 2 story unit on the back of the lot, offering endless possibilities for the right buyer. Although the back building has no completed rooms, it does include a basement and a ground-level shop, as well as an incomplete upstairs unit that could be finished into a separate living space. And with the building's potential for two units, the opportunities are virtually endless.
