Property details
About 221 S 5th St
Unique opportunity to own a mixed-use property where the possibilities of this property are endless! This 2 story with a potential store front property awaits a new owner to turn their vision into reality. The first floor was originally used as a bakery at one point and was being converted into a barber shop. Upstairs has the potential to become possible income producing rooms with plumbing available for separate bathrooms. This property was zoned commercial but due to it being inactive for over a year it is now converted back to residential conforming. Which is why the possibilities are endless! This property even has the potential to have a garage / parking in the back. The seller is INCLUDING all building materials with the sale which includes all flooring, tile, drywall, compound and more. Contact the listing agent with any questions.
