Overview

The property combines front retail space with rear garage functionality in a single building. The retail area is open concept and includes one ADA restroom, supporting customer-facing operations. The garage portion is accessed through a 10x10 garage door located at the rear of the building, creating a straightforward separation between walk-in space and vehicle or storage use.

Visibility is a key attribute, with frontage on Gilbert St. The property benefits from off-street parking in both the front and rear, which can support customer parking and convenient access for employees or deliveries.

This layout is well suited for tenants that want a retail presence with the ability to service, store, or handle vehicle-related needs through the rear garage bay. The combination of ADA-accessible restroom in the front and direct garage access at the back can help streamline day-to-day operations for automotive-adjacent retail and light service users, depending on their specific business requirements.
