PLEASE NOTE: These 4 parcels are more valuable than what meets the eye!!! They are close to the Country Club Mall and their highest and best use would be a commercial site for a public service such as restaurant, office, retail, etc. with a very high traffic count. Lots are not currently zoned commercial, however, considering the outlying area, it would have a good argument to be changed. Two lots face Winchester Rd and then two behind on "A" St. Please see corresponding information in documents.
