The parcels function separately or collectively. 1686 N ADA: The warehouse spans roughly 100' x 60' with ceiling height ranging from 14-16'. Multiple skylights bring in lots of light, and a large overhead door opens directly onto Ada street. 1684 N ADA: One of the most unique homes in the city, this original factory has been thoughtfully converted into a remarkable private residence.

Parking for 2+ cars in the indoor garage and several more in the private courtyard. 1682 N Ada: 7,000+ square foot raw studio space that connects the other 2 parcels. This could be a continuation of the residence or it could support the large open timber warehouse with bathrooms, a kitchen, bar, etc. M3-3 allows for a huge variety of uses, and creates plenty of allowable additional FAR and height.
