About this House

Renovated in 2023 and zoned General Business, 217 E 12th St is a turnkey two-bedroom, one-bath with the flexibility to serve as a residence, a workspace, or both. The 2023 work was thorough, covering new windows, HVAC, flooring, plumbing, kitchen, bathroom, and appliances, so the major systems and finishes are already handled. The General Business zoning opens up options a standard residential lot does not, whether the goal is a clean place to live, a base for a home-based business, or the ability to do both. The property sits next to a WKU shuttle stop, keeping campus and the rest of town easy to reach. Move-in ready, efficient, and low-maintenance throughout. This property is being sold AS IS, allowance negotiable.
