Positioned on two prime city lots overlooking the harbor, and continually improved, the facility includes a full commercial kitchen, updated storage areas, and multiple income-producing residential units: a one-bed/one-bath apartment, a two-bed/one-bath apartment, and two private living quarters. These provide flexibility for owner-occupancy, staff housing, or potential short-term rentals.
