    Investor / entrepreneur alert! Exceptional Live + Work townhome rocks a priceless Walker's Paradise location, where perfect business space meets perfect home. The sleek, level-entry commercial space boasts 12' ceilings, heated concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling glass, and an accessible 3/4 bath. Leverage the synergy of the unique Charlestown community of Live/Work townhomes, including busy Olympia Coffee, Welcome Road Winery, and convenient neighborhood hotspots for beauty, health, home goods and more!
