Overview
This commercial building offers two separate, tenant-ready units totaling approximately 3,500+ square feet of versatile space. The front unit is configured for retail with a large attached storage garage and multiple access points, including an open garage area of about 1,240 square feet and a dedicated retail area of about 612 square feet, plus a dedicated office, high ceilings, one 10-foot-tall garage door, and one bathroom. The rear unit was originally used as an auto body shop and features a spacious main work area of approximately 50' x 33'9", a paint bay room of about 22'3" x 13'1", high ceilings, one garage door, and one bathroom, with multiple entrances to support convenient customer and work-flow access. Both spaces benefit from solid construction with a large structural metal support beam.
The property sits on a 60' x 120' lot and is not located in a flood zone. The building supports independent operation, with separate units that can function alone or together, providing flexibility for owner-users and investors. It is currently tenant occupied, with the tenant information not included.
With its garage doors, dedicated office in the front, and auto-body-oriented layout in the rear, the building is well suited for contractors, automotive-related businesses, retail with service operations, storage, warehousing, distribution, or light industrial uses. Its multi-entrance design and dual-unit configuration make it a practical fit for operators seeking control over workflow and space separation.
