The property is zoned for residential and business

This house sits on land that is dual-zoned, so in theory, you could open up shop and live on premises. The property sits on a quarter of an acre with a detached shop, with plenty of room to build out or start fresh.

Someone looking to convert this to an income property could highlight close proximity to a gas station and convenience store.

Again, this is a property that can be considered potential. According to the listing, the electrical is all new, so that's one less thing you would need to worry about.
