Exceptional flexibility in downtown Blaine. Currently operating as a short-term rental—with option to purchase fully furnished and consider accelerated depreciation opportunities—this property sits in the Central Business Garden Zone, with many possible uses: single-family home, commercial, or office. There is also untapped development potential including multifamily or DADU (buyer to verify). The home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, galley kitchen, original hardwood floors, wraparound covered porch, and a partial harbor view. A detached studio of approx. 400 sq ft adds valuable space for work or storage. Mature landscaping, plentiful parking, and proximity to downtown restaurants and shops create convenience for daily life or business operations. A rare blend of character, utility, and growth potential. Live here while you create long-term equity.
