Overview

The Maston Building is a renovated two-story retail property featuring a largely unfinished interior described as a blank slate for a tenant or buyer’s build-out. The seller notes substantial work already completed from the foundation up through a new roof, and the entire front of the building has been replaced for a more modern look. With approximately 4,500 square feet, the structure supports a range of potential retail or mixed-use configurations, depending on final design and approvals.

Located at 216 S State Street in South Whitley, the building sits in the heart of town and is described as easy to access. Convenient street parking is available, and the building provides access from both the front street frontage and the rear alley, supporting practical delivery, loading, or secondary customer entry depending on the use.

Zoning is listed as LB, which the remarks say can support a variety of business uses as well as R1 and R2 development. This combination of renovation progress, two-sided access, and flexible zoning may suit investors or owner-operators evaluating options for retail, service uses, or residential development pathways consistent with the LB district. Buyer can review uploaded renovation work before finalizing a build-out plan.
