Overview

This well-maintained commercial building was originally built in 1978 and has undergone major remodeling in 1998 and 2003, with additional recent updates including fresh paint and LVP flooring. The interior is designed for flexibility, featuring a spacious lobby/retail area, a smaller display area, and a semi-private retail area that can function as an office. Additional utility space includes a utility room with a commercial sink and storage, along with a private bath.

The property is located along Highway 42 in Ellison Bay and sits on a 0.81-acre lot. Professional landscaping and plenty of paved parking support customer and employee access, while the lot size also allows for the possibility of building a future residence, where permitted by applicable rules.

Zoned Mixed Use Commercial (MC), the building’s configuration can support a range of business uses for an expanding operation or a new tenant looking for a versatile street-facing setup. With its lobby/retail presence, office-capable space, and on-site utility area, it offers a practical foundation for retail, service, or office-oriented users seeking a turnkey, updated commercial facility.
