    Charming existing home
    Rare Development Opportunity with Whitefish River Access & Townhouse/Duplex Zoning! Perfectly positioned just a short bike ride from downtown, this classic 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 1,860-square-foot home sits on a .19-acre lot backing the legendary Whitefish River. Enjoy the convenience of river access from the property, plus a public kayak launch just down the road — all the lifestyle perks without the maintenance demands of true waterfront ownership. This unique property is a powerhouse of potential: offered as-is, you can move right into the charming existing home, keep the current tenant for immediate cash flow, or capitalize on the rare Townhouse/Duplex Zoning with incredible potential to develop two three-story luxury townhomes.
