One of the most unique properties available in Waimea, this dual-zoned unit offers exceptional flexibility for residential, professional, and investment use—all within one of the town's most desirable and central locations. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, professional office, income-producing rental, or a combination of uses, the property's zoning creates opportunities rarely found in downtown Waimea. Currently operating as a medical office, the property provides immediate rental income while preserving future options for owner occupancy, business use, or continued rental investment. The approximately 1,060-square-foot interior includes two bedrooms, one full bathroom, a kitchen, and a comfortable living area, allowing seamless transition between residential and commercial applications. Further enhancing its value, this is one of only two units in the building with deeded parking rights. The property also benefits from professional on-site HOA management.
