400 Palomino Trail

Description

THE REAL ESTATE. Custom built in 2007, the two-story Western Victorian style building is situated on a nearly quarter-acre lot at the very eastern edge of Town on the frontage road paralleling US Highway 550. The zoning is General Commercial with mixed uses and live-work arrangements encouraged, affording considerable flexibility in future uses and marketability of the property. The building has approximately 2000 square feet of habitable space and comes with an extensive, must-see list of quality and hard-to-find features - among these are extensive measures against air-infiltration that not only make the building energy efficient but also make the inside incredibly quiet despite the excellent highway visibility and access the location provides.
