The building at 256 E Front Street has a history of serving as a bakery, art gallery, and plumbing company, the second building at 540 N. Howard Ave features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with a reported size of 624 sq ft, and has been used as a residential rental. Please respect the tenant's privacy and do not disturb them.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
