Set on a prominent 165 x 120 ft lot (approximately 0.45 acres) in one of Owen Sound's most desirable areas, this unique property offers over 4,600 sq. ft. of finished above-grade space along with exceptional flexibility for future use. The main building features impressive ceiling heights, hardwood flooring, detailed crown moulding, and large windows that provide abundant natural light throughout.
