This commercial building includes two separate rentals with independent utility service, featuring separate electric meters (both with 200-amp service) and separate gas meters. Each unit is set up for stand-alone use, supporting mixed-use operation or an owner-occupant arrangement alongside rental income. The building includes multiple entry points, an open commercial area suited for service, retail, storage, or light commercial use, and additional features such as a basement area for storage or storm use, finished upper-level storage above one unit, exterior outlets, and keypad entry on a secondary entrance.

The property is located at 418 E Defiance Street in Howe, Indiana, directly on State Road 120 for high visibility to daily traffic. The exterior includes lighted signage and parking on the east side with additional nearby overflow options.
