***PERFECT LOCATION FOR A BED AND BREAKFAST OR A MAGNIFICENT FAMILY/MULTIFAMILY HOME***
RESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES (Single OR Multifamily)
For the last 7 years this was our single family, residential home. No Configuring is needed to convert from multi-family, we simply opened the doors. When we originally purchased this home 16 years ago, we rented out 2 apartments upstairs and lived on the ground floor (including the very large basement for storage). Very economical.
The following details should be noted:
* There are 3 kitchens in this home.
* WALKING DISTANCE to downtown Council Bluffs, including mere blocks from the COURT HOUSE, Bayliss Park and other services!
* SEPARATE UTILITIES! Electric and gas are already set up for multi/offices
* SEPARATE MAILING ADDRESSES! Technically this home had 5 mailing addresses.
* MULTIPLE ENTRANCES!(One "apartment" possibility has it's own stairs and entrance.
* A Parking Lot!
