Property Description

A rare live/work opportunity with legal commercial use! 20 Bell Street combines comfortable one-level living with an impressive 1,700+ sq. ft. commercial-use garage/shop, making this an exceptional option for a contractor, tradesperson, automotive-related business, entrepreneur or anyone needing serious workspace right at home. This well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers an easy, functional layout with everything on one level. The spacious kitchen provides plenty of cabinetry and counter space, while in-floor heating adds warmth and comfort throughout. Recent improvements include new shingles (2026), a new furnace serving the in-floor heating system (2026), and a new pressure tank (2026). Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. The substantial detached garage/shop features a 10-foot commercial-height overhead door and more than 1,700 sq. ft. of workspace, with legal commercial use already in place. The building’s footings and construction were designed to accommodate a future second-level addition, offering even greater possibilities for expansion. With generous paved parking and maneuvering space, a private treed setting and the flexibility to combine home, business and storage on one property, 20 Bell Street offers possibilities that are increasingly difficult to find. Live here. Work here. Grow here. A unique property for the buyer who needs more than just a house.
