This iconic and historic property is extremely unique and situated on a very visible corner in the Fountain District Urban Village. Once a gas station, then a small grocery store, this building centrally located. There is an office building (976 sqft) that could be two separate offices (but they have to share the one bath), plus a 2 bed/1 bath Craftsman home (850 sqft) that is also zoned Commercial. It is surrounded by residential zoning, so it is sort of an anomaly. There are 7 off street parking spaces. Both properties are on one parcel and cannot be divided, but this is a very unique investment opportunity, as there are so many options for usage and so many benefits of being in this Fountain District Urban Village!
