Opportunity abounds at an affordable price. Unique property ideal for a buyer looking for mixed use or affordable living. The street level has two large separate rooms. Could be for home office, office space, art studio, etc. The lower level has a cool apartment. Although small, it has all your basics and a larger kitchen. Many updates have been done to the home and a lot of custom woodwork. This is not a fancy apartment but would suit the needs of most and is very close to the college. This would make a great multi-unit rental, student housing, etc. Lots of opportunities and a must-see! Did I mention the creek in the backyard!? Buyer to verify the uses of the property and what they can do.
