Inside, the property features a comfortable office and reception area with central air conditioning and a dedicated furnace, a break room/security room, and two half bathrooms—one of which is handicap accessible. The office also includes an upstairs loft area that provides additional storage space, as well as a separate furnace located in the loft. A new electric water heater adds to the property’s efficiency and convenience.
