Remarks: Here is your opportunity to own one of the most well-kept buildings in Cresco’s downtown business district. The 2,250 square foot main floor features solid surface flooring, ample lighting & outlets, office/ storage space, a bathroom and two (removable) dressing rooms. The commercial storefront windows and door were replaced in 2018. Other updates include furnace, air conditioning, plumbing and back door. Head downstairs to the semi-finished lower level that has been waterproofed and carries a transferrable lifetime warranty. This space offers a large open area for meetings, break room, additional retail or work area. Two offices and plenty of storage are also located in the lower level. The second story has two well-appointed apartments with access from the front and back. Apartment #1 has two bedrooms, a pass-through bedroom and the potential to add another bedroom. Apartment #2 has two bedrooms and the bathroom is currently being updated. Laundry is located in a common space with direct access from each apartment. Both apartments have their own newer furnaces and central air. The second story windows were replaced in 2024. Water and hot water are supplied by the owner from the updated on-demand water heater. Tenants pay their own electricity and gas. A large public parking lot is located directly to the east. This property is the perfect place for your business with bonus income from the apartments above.
