Description
THIS CHARMING 1449 FT2 HISTORIC COTTAGE CIRCA 1920 ZONED BUSINESS DISTRICT (BD) WITH 37 FEET OF PRIME HOWE STREET FRONTAGE PRESENTS ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR USE AS A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OR MIXED USE WITH COMMERCIAL COMBINED WITH RESIDENTIAL. BD zoning allows for use as a short term rental, office, or retail or dual use as a residence and business. The current owner has utilized the property as an office housing her physical therapy practice and also as a primary residence. There is a 20 foot paved street easement accessing the rear of the property from Howe Street (this easement is accessed via the road located between Live Oak Cafe and Loco Joe's). The rear of the property includes an ample parking area currently utilized by the seller's physical therapy clients, and an ADA compliant ramp accessing the office area at the rear of the property. There is sufficient land at the rear of this 37 foot by 132 foot property allowing for significant expansion of the existing square footage either through an expansion of the existing structure or construction of an accessory structure with lots of potential for investment income from additional office space or short term rental units. Business District (BD) zoning allows for zero set backs on the front and sides and 10 foot setbacks on the rear. While this circa 1920 cottage was likely originally built as a residence by A.J. Robbins a prominent Southport builder, the current zoning does not allow for use as solely a primary residence. However, mixed use as a business combined with a residence is allowed per the City of Southport. The interior of this charming cottage includes multiple offices areas, one bath, gorgeous original wood floors and trim work, and a charming fireplace which has been converted to gas logs. With valuable frontage on Howe Street, Historic Southport's primary thoroughfare, the potential business opportunities here are endless for this charming piece of Southport History.
