Welcome to 229 Garber Lane — Where Historic Charm Meets Prime Commercial Opportunity. Classic charm resides in this uniquely positioned B-2 commercially zoned property offering exceptional flexibility for renovation, redevelopment, or continued residential use. Situated on 1.65± prime acres, this property is surrounded by other B-2 zoned parcels and boasts outstanding visibility from I-81, making it an ideal location for a variety of business ventures.
