The real property is located at 1101 4th Street, Eureka, California and consists of approximately 0.33 acres across three (3) parcels within the City of Eureka. The site includes approximately twelve (12) on-site parking spaces and is developed with a single-story building that has approximately 3,700 square feet of usable interior space.
This property is situated in close proximity to county facilities, located one (1) block from the Humboldt County Public Defender’s building and two (2) blocks from the Humboldt County Courthouse, both located-on 4th Street.
