About this home

This converted residence was used the last 40+ years as an attorney's office. The front entry leads to a waiting room with a fireplace and receptionist's window area. The main floor also has an office for the receptionist or assistant(s), a kitchen, bathroom, private office area, and a conference room. Stairs lead from the main level to the upper level and to the basement. The upper level has a landing area, bathroom and 2 large rooms with closets. These 2 rooms were originally bedrooms, but were used as file rooms, and assistant's desk areas. The basement is mostly unfinished and was used as a storage area for files. 422 square feet of the basement was partially finished and used as an architect's office. The driveway leads past the main level entry to a parking lot in the rear. The architect's office has an exterior door that opens to the parking lot. Note: There are 3.36 acres of land that surrounds the office building parcel and borders on Joy Lane in the rear. The land is listed on MLS# 4358540.
