Approximately 1,000 square feet, this well-maintained, free-standing building was originally constructed as an office but could easily be converted into a comfortable single-family home. Situated on a desirable double lot with frontage on both Delaware Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue, the property offers ample flexibility and space — including the opportunity to build a second home on the front corner lot. The interior includes a spacious open area, two private offices (ideal for bedrooms), a conference room that could serve as a living or dining space, a full kitchen, and a full bathroom with shower. The building has been recently painted and features central air conditioning and natural gas heat. This is a unique opportunity for an owner-occupant, small business, or investor looking to repurpose a versatile property in the heart of Delmar.
