Whether used as a long-term rental, employee housing, owner's residence, or executive suite, this income-producing component provides flexibility and additional revenue potential rarely found in downtown commercial properties. The property offers approximately 2,939 square feet plus basement storage and sits on a 0.14-acre lot with valuable alley access and a detached one-car garage/carport.
