Exceptional opportunity to own an affordable mixed-use commercial/residential property offering outstanding value, flexibility, and income potential. Ideally positioned with excellent exposure and walkability, this fully renovated building presents a rare chance for entrepreneurs, investors, or owner-occupiers seeking both business and residential space under one roof. The main floor features over 1,000 square feet of commercial retail/office space thoughtfully configured into three distinct rooms, allowing for a wide range of business uses.

Above, the bright and spacious residential unit can be accessed through its own private exterior entrance as well as from the interior of the building.
