944 W 18th St offers a rare opportunity to own a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property zoned for commercial use, just a few blocks from the heart of downtown and the growing energy of Main Street. Currently operating as an income-producing short-term rental, the home can be transferred to the next owner with the same successful model, or repurposed for a variety of commercial uses such as office or administrative space, salon, barbershop, and more (buyer to verify).
Inside, the home features an open layout connecting the kitchen and living area, with recent updates including kitchen improvements, interior paint, and flooring. The property sits on a generous lot with a large backyard, alley access, a detached garage, and a long driveway, offering ample parking and flexibility for both residential and business use.
This versatile property blends location, zoning, and income potential in one unique package.
