Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This historic school building was originally built in 1879 and renovated in 2006. It features original maple flooring and includes two fully equipped kitchens with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and custom cabinetry. The property also offers a sizable retail space and a second-floor finished office or den, along with a “blank slate” area that is roughed-in for conversion into a living space.

The second floor provides additional flexibility through the existing finished office or den and the ready-to-convert roughed-in area. The property is located at 12042 Hwy 42 in Ellison Bay and includes a garage, dry storage area, and a large parking lot.

For mixed-use commercial (MC) zoning, the layout supports multiple on-site uses, including retail, office or den space, and the potential for residential conversion in the roughed-in area.
