Set on a fully walled lot, the property reveals a private, brick-pavered courtyard shaded by mature trees - an inviting and tranquil retreat that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant energy just beyond its walls. A classic wooden second-story balcony overlooks Charlotte Street, offering a charming vantage point of the lively streetscape with glimpses toward the bayfront. The first floor features two thoughtfully designed units, including an inviting retail storefront and a separate residential apartment, each curated with finishes that honor the buildings historic integrity. The second floor hosts a beautifully appointed one-bedroom residence, complete with rich wood flooring, a cozy kitchen, traditional shuttered windows, and a full bath. This residence opens onto a private deck overlooking the courtyard, creating a serene and intimate outdoor living space. Access from Charlotte Street welcomes guests through a charming entry into the courtyard, providing entry to the retail space, the second-floor residence, and an additional detached unit tucked within the courtyard - ideal for a creative studio, office, or flexible workspace. A second point of entry through an antique iron gate on Hypolita Street offers convenient access to the first-floor residential unit and the rear studio, enhancing the propertys versatility for multiple occupants or uses. Zoned HP-2 (Historic Preservation 2), the property allows for a dynamic mix of residential and commercial uses, including retail, office, and hospitality-oriented concepts. With four total units, enduring architectural appeal, and a premier downtown location, this property offers exceptional flexibility for an owner-user, investor, or business operator. Whether envisioned as a boutique retail destination, professional office, income-producing investment, or a distinctive live-work environment, the possibilities are as compelling as the setting itself.
