The building features a classic three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout on a prominent corner lot, providing plenty of outdoor space and a strong visual presence.

Whether you envision a stylish professional office or a custom residential renovation, this space is ready for you to add your personal touch and bring your vision to life. The property is currently listed for both commercial (MLS #4368188) and residential (MLS #4365906) use, offering great flexibility depending on your needs. If you choose to use the property as a residence, it will require a formal zoning change through the City of Locust. This process typically takes about 45 days. Documentation must be filed with the zoning department by the second Friday of the month for review at the meeting on the fourth Thursday. If successful, the request moves to the City Council on the second Tuesday of the following month for a final decision. While the potential for residential use is there, a zoning change is not guaranteed to pass.
