Charming 3-Bed, 2-Bath Home with Business Potential in The Shores – Compliant for ALF, Daycare, or In-Home Care This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers over 1,700 sq ft of living space and is located in the quiet, established Shores neighborhood of Marion County. Built in 1975, the property has solid bones and just needs some cosmetic updates to shine again. A new roof was installed in 2024, providing peace of mind for homeowners or investors alike.

This rare feature opens the door for both residential living and entrepreneurial opportunity under one roof. The home features generously sized bedrooms, a functional floor plan, and an abundance of natural light. Its layout offers flexibility for residential use or conversion to meet ALF or business setup needs. Additionally, the property is zoned for access to the local community center, which offers a wide array of amenities—including a pool, fitness center, recreational areas, and more—all for just $5 per month.
