17 North Ave, Rockland, MA 02370

What if your commute was a flight of stairs? This mixed-use property in Rockland center pairs a ground-floor office with a 1-bedroom apartment upstairs. It is not a single-family residence, but it's a rare chance to live and work under one roof, or to run your business downstairs while the apartment, currently rented at $1,700/month on a tenant-at-will basis, helps pay the mortgage. The tenant-at-will arrangement offers flexibility for an owner-occupant or an investor. Built in 1880 and home to a local optometry office for decades, the ground floor offers a reception area, a sunny waiting room, several private rooms, two half baths, and ramp access at the side entry. Upstairs, the apartment features a living room, hardwood floors, an eat-in kitchen, a full bath, and in-unit laundry. Paved parking, a 2-car garage, and a storage shed round it out, all steps from restaurants and shops and directly across from a daycare. Ready to stop renting your office and start owning it?
