853 Grove Ave
Ranch on a level lot with something most homes around here can't offer: real yard and real workspace. The house itself is straightforward and well kept, vinyl siding, newer architectural shingle roof, replacement windows, and a big front picture window that pulls light into the living room. Ductless mini-split on the side for efficient cooling. Out back there's a full-width covered porch, a slider off the main living area, and an open lawn with established garden beds. Behind that, the property opens up into a graveled work yard with a large steel garage building drive-through bay, overhead chain hoist, high ceilings, and room to park work trucks, trailers, and equipment. Additional outbuildings and container storage on site. If you're a contractor, tradesman, landscaper, or anyone who's tired of paying rent on a yard somewhere else, this is the setup: live in the front, run the operation out of the back. Please note: The second-to-last photo shows the adjacent property at 845 Forrest Ave. Both properties can be purchased together for a combined lot size of approximately just under one acre. Used for Commercial and Zoned as R5.
