In addition to the “Coworking Office” on the Roosevelt corridor, further evidence that a growing number of people are working from home is a townhouse for sale boasting front and center that it’s “Zoned Work Live.”
The growing concept offers residents the opportunity to both live in and operate a business out of a home, cutting out commercial rent and other expenses that can quickly add up.
Listing agent Teri Jones with Windermere Real Estate said it’s an ideal space for an accountant, hair dresser, nail salon or even a coffeeshop, and she said she even thought about using it for her own real-estate business.
“It’s quite enticing for a person who wants to live and work out of their home,” Jones said.
The 1,078-square-foot townhouse, located on the corner of Roosevelt at 858 N.E. 92nd St., is available for $310,000 and has two bedrooms, plus a third room with a separate entrance and plenty of room for expansion that could be turned into a workspace or used as a third bedroom.
It’s also got the kind of amenities you would expect from a home built in 2007: a master suite with French doors to a deck; a cook’s kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, granite-tiled counters with a full-height backsplash and maple cabinets; and cherry hardwood floors. It also has a one-car garage and a private patio with a large storage shed.
Jones said the builder lived in the home for two years, and that the home just returned to the market after a recent deal fell through.
