Strategy: find commercial tenants for cute mixed-use "house"

A commercially zoned section of town here in Bucks County PA has a mixed use property for sale, and I am interested.  

It's residential upstairs (1 apartment), and the downstairs is zoned commercial.  The issue is the structure is very much a "house" with siding and shutters and I keep thinking it looks too "cute" to be a property that means "BUSINESS !" you know? 

There is no commercial tenant now, but there used to be a law office.  Short of recruiting Mrs. Clause and letting her bake cookies in the property, I was wondering if any of you experienced folks have interesting ideas to attract commercial tenants?

The condition of the 1st floor (commercial) part of the property does not have a kitchen, just a half bathroom. 

I have thought that an office  would be good, and maybe a day care for children to name a few that came to mind.

Are there other opportunities that can actually work on a commercial property that just doesn't look the part.  It seems like it might be harder to find tenants to me.
