Have you ever dreamed of living in a space that is open, with lots of character and high ceilings? If so, then this carriage house on 11 Mellen Street #4 may offer the unique style of living you have been looking for. Boasting of antique charm, this house is more like a single-family home than a condo as it is separate from the main house comprised of 3 other condo units. When you enter the carriage house/condo you are greeted by an open living area that features ample space for a living area, dining area, and large kitchen. The 1st floor also has a ½ bath and laundry room. Out the back door you will have your own private, fenced-in, small yard, perfect for outside dining or your dog. As you ascend up the stairs you arrive at a large open bedroom with vaulted ceilings. The space is large enough for a home office or another living area. There is a large walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed full bathroom. When you think you could not need anything else you still have an elevated balcony off the bedroom perfect for some fresh air at all times of the day or night. A heat pump was just added to the second floor for heating or cooling. There is designated storage space in the main house for this unit and your parking spot is right outside your door. This in-town location is just a short walk to restaurants, live music, and shops. You will love living here!

B2B
Community Business District
To provide neighborhood and community retail, business and service establishments that are oriented to and built close to the street. The B-2b zone is suitable in areas where a more compact urban development pattern exists or where a neighborhood-compatible commercial district is established which exhibits a pedestrian scale and character. Such locations may include the peninsula and other arterials and intersections with an existing urban or neighborhood-oriented building pattern. The B-2b zone encourages mixed-use development, and provides locations for moderate to high-density housing in urban neighborhoods along arterials.
