Description

Approximately 1,000 square feet, this well-maintained, free-standing building was originally constructed as an office but could easily be converted into a comfortable single-family home. Situated on a desirable double lot with frontage on both Delaware Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue, the property offers ample flexibility and space — including the opportunity to build a second home on the front corner lot.

Situated on a desirable double lot with frontage on both Delaware Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue, the property offers ample flexibility and space — including the opportunity to build a second home on the front corner lot. Currently zoned Light Industrial (LI), the Town of Delmar has indicated they would be supportive of rezoning the property to Residential, making it an excellent candidate for redevelopment or adaptive reuse. The interior includes a spacious open area, two private offices (ideal for bedrooms), a conference room that could serve as a living or dining space, a full kitchen, and a full bathroom with shower. The building has been recently painted and features central air conditioning and natural gas heat. This is a unique opportunity for an owner-occupant, small business, or investor looking to repurpose a versatile property in the heart of Delmar.
