In this configuration, all units share a common entry hall with front and rear entrances, a coffee area, and two restrooms. The upstairs unit includes its own bathroom and exterior rear exit, and each downstairs unit has a separate rear entrance, with one also offering a private bathroom. This flexible layout is ideal for owner-occupants or investors seeking multi-tenant potential. Move-in ready and well-suited for legal, professional, or creative office use, the building can accommodate up to eight attorneys and support staff. Potential tax advantages may be available for qualifying improvements due to its historic designation. Seller requests a 30-day leaseback after closing to facilitate move-out.
