As of May 2025**Attention Investors and First-Time Homebuyers!** This **huge** property is being offered **"as is,"** providing a tremendous opportunity for those seeking a project or an income-generating asset. The building offers substantial space, making it an excellent choice for investors looking to capitalize on rental income potential. The main level features a spacious office area, ideal for use as a personal business space or leased out for commercial purposes. This is a prime location for anyone wanting to start or expand a commercial business. The second level consists of a two-bedroom apartment, which offers significant potential but does require some tender loving care (TLC) to fully realize its value. With the right vision and investment, this property can serve as a multi-income opportunity, offering both residential and commercial options. Agents read remarks prior to showing, thanks!
