    Overview

    This historic mansion offers a mixed income setup with a massage therapy business, a spacious single-family home component, and three rental apartments within the same structure. The property includes an attached 3-car garage, a detached 2-car garage, and ample outdoor parking, supporting both tenant needs and on-site operations. With more than half an acre of outdoor space and over 6,000 square feet, the interior is described as reconfigurable for alternative living arrangements, including multi-generational use.

    The property is located in Columbus, WI at 229 N Ludington Street and is zoned B-1. Public remarks note convenient access to major highways and proximity to downtown and the Amtrak station.

    For buyers seeking an owner-operator or a residential-income configuration with on-site services, the existing combination of business and apartments may support a flexible operational model. Alternatively, the described ability to reconfigure internal partitions could appeal to parties looking to convert the layout toward a more traditional single-family or multi-generational setup while retaining the existing garage and parking improvements.
