## Description

### Agent Description
Now is your opportunity to own a truly unique historic property with strong cash flow potential. Once serving as a fire station and believed to have housed the Southside Library, this mixed-use building offers both character and income-ideal for an owner-occupant or investor. The ground-level commercial space features excellent storefront visibility along a high-traffic corridor with over 17,000 vehicles per day. The layout allows for one larger business or two separate commercial spaces. Current tenants include a thrift shop and a bail bondsman. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartments, each offering large living rooms and open kitchens. Stove and refrigerator are included in both units. Recent updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof (2019) and three new furnaces and three new central air units installed in 2025 by Dorian Heating & Cooling. The property features separate gas and electric meters, private tenant parking, a current rental certificate, and is fully leased. Additional upside may be available through future improvement grants from Friends of SW 9th or NFC. Call today to schedule your private showing.
