Sitting on a flat, half-acre buildable lot zoned C1, this property blends timeless charm with unmatched commercial potential. The sturdy masonry construction, metal roof, and slab foundation give it character and reliability, while the spacious yard offers room for expansion, offstreet parking, or entirely new construction. What truly sets this property apart is its versatile C1 zoning, allowing uses such as bakeries, bookstores, florists, convenience stores, clinics, medical offices, childcare facilities, family homes with homeoffice, beauty/barber shops, pharmacies, banks, community homes, adult or child day care centers, and even medical supply or rehabilitation offices-placing you at the intersection of residential familiarity and commercial flexibility. This property is also permitted by the City to operate as a short term rental making this an ideal investment opportunity for those wanting to generate passive income, being minutes from the infamous Schlitterbahn Waterpark and just across the street from dozens of booming businesses! Imagine opening a neighborhood bakery where locals gather, launching a boutique clinic steps from CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital, or creating a nurturing daycare and keeping the family home vibe intact.

Ideal for entrepreneurs, medical professionals, community-minded buyers, or investors, this property is a rare blend of history, location, and potential-all now within reach thanks to its sizable price drop.
