Just steps from Main Street, the Monon and all that the Carmel Arts District has to offer, this 2 unit home is zoned for both single family use, multi-unit/income use (generating over $5000/mo) or commercial use. And YES, it CAN be an Airbnb! As you enter the lower unit you are greeted with gorgeous original hardwoods, exposed brick, custom tile work, reclaimed wood, custom doors, imported light fixtures and special touches everywhere you look. With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large laundry room, spacious living room and dining or office space this newly renovated floorplan offers a huge kitchen with custom cabinetry, butcher block counters and honed granite island, stainless appliances and custom touches everywhere you turn.
