    Overview

    This for-sale storefront retail property was built in 1926 and sits on a 7,623-square-foot lot. The building is currently fully occupied, with the opportunity for a future rent strategy as leases roll. The property totals 4,566 square feet, providing a compact footprint suited to neighborhood-oriented retail operations.

    The site is set within an established residential community and is within walking distance of neighborhood retailers and restaurants. This context supports tenant businesses that benefit from consistent local foot traffic rather than destination-only retail.

    For investors or owner-operators seeking a long-term holding with an income-producing retail component, the current occupancy is a straightforward starting point. Tenants who fit a neighborhood retail format may find the property’s scale and street-level presence practical for serving nearby residents. Consider this property for those looking to acquire a historic-era storefront with an occupied retail configuration and the ability to evaluate future lease terms over time.
