Listing broker remarks

Former single-family residential dwelling with large lot for sale. The property offers a great opportunity for a variety of business or possible residential uses. The existing structure was most recently rented to a gift shop and has several large rooms, a full bathroom with shower, a kitchen area, a second floor room, and basement storage. Located minutes from the popular Big E/Eastern States Exposition fairgrounds, which could allow for additional parking income. BB-1 zoning allows a multitude of uses, including single-family and two-family residential. “The purpose of the BB-1 District is to provide a higher density area for a mix of industrial, multifamily residential and limited commercial uses.” Residential redevelopment nearby.— Pioneer CRE
