About this home

PRICE ADJUSTMENT AND POSSIBLE OWNER FINANCING! NOW is the time to grab this AMAZING opportunity!! This freestanding commercial building offers a rare blend of classic character and functional flexibility in a highly visible and evolving location. Currently configured for office use, the interior is divided into multiple spaces that allow for private work areas and additional storage. Walls may be removed to create an open-concept layout, offering adaptability to suit a variety of business needs. The building features one bathroom, with plumbing already in place for a second, and has seen thoughtful upfitting throughout, including the addition and replacement of windows that enhance natural light while preserving its nostalgic charm. A distinctive staircase leads to an unfinished basement level, presenting endless possibilities for expansion, storage, or future build-out. Land conveys with the property, providing potential for expansion or further development. Convenient parking is available directly in front of the building, with close proximity to a nearby crosswalk allowing for easy access and supplemental parking options. Ideally located across from the proposed Saluda Rail Trail and the Nina Simone Plaza, this property benefits from strong visibility, walkability, and long-term growth potential. A classic structure with modern versatility, it is well-positioned for continued office use or creative commercial adaptation. CURRENTLY AN ACTIVE PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS SO CAN ONLY BE SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT.
