The main building features impressive ceiling heights, hardwood flooring, detailed crown moulding, and large windows that provide abundant natural light throughout.

Zoned R5, the property allows for a wide range of permitted uses, including multi-residential development, professional office space, or conversion to a bed and breakfast, the opportunities are endless.
