## Description

### Agent Description
Quintessential historic masonry store front in revitalizing Independence begs your imagination to run wild. A blank slate, this building would make an excellent 2-unit multi-family investment. It has been gutted with many renovations completed including new windows, new electrical panels, new water supply line, new 10-year roof coating, spray foam insulation under roof decking, and newly redesigned apartment floor plan upstairs. Approx 1135 sf living on each floor. A most unique detail of this property is that it sits on 2 CITY LOTS adding to the redevelopment possibilities! Come be part of the renaissance of historic main street Louisiana!
