Opportunities abound with this property. The graceful rooms would be a fantastic retail space and owner could reside upstairs. There are two public parking lots behind the property so parking would not be an issue if there were to be a restaurant or other business that served a lot of clients at one time. Because there are 4 large rooms upstairs, it would be quite easy to live on the upper level and work on the main level. This home is priced to sell and the potential is unlimited. The certified measure report from Carolina MeasurePro does not agree with the tax card.
