Fully stabilized income property in Strasburg's Main Street commercial district. Early 20th-century brick building (circa 1922) with proven rental history, strong returns, and multiple value-creation strategies.
**FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:**
Recently operated as two residential units generating $34,800/year ($2,900/month combined).
