    • Over 6,000 sq ft historic brick mansion built in 1868
    • Zoned residential with 4 sources of income: massage therapy business, a single‑family home, and 3 rental apartments
    • 4‑bedroom layout plus basement
    • Radiant heating and dishwasher and dryer included
    • Parking includes an attached 3‑car garage, detached 2‑car garage, and ample outdoor parking
    • Situated on more than half an acre near downtown, the Amtrak station, and with convenient access to major highways

    Overview

    Set within a historic mansion setting, this property is a versatile, income-oriented residential asset zoned B-1. The current configuration includes a successful massage therapy business, a spacious single-family home, and three rental apartments, supported by four sources of income. Additional improvements include an attached 3-car garage, a detached 2-car garage, and ample outdoor parking, all set on more than half an acre.

    Located in Columbus, WI, the property is positioned near downtown and the Amtrak station, with convenient access to major highways. The combination of mixed-use setup and surrounding accessibility supports a range of ownership and operating strategies.

    For buyers seeking turnkey income, the existing multi-unit and massage therapy setup provides an immediate foundation. For those looking to reposition the asset, the property can be transformed into a single-family home by reconfiguring internal partitions, leveraging its substantial layout and parking for a more private residential use. The flexible design and scale make it well-suited to multi-generational living concepts or an owner-operator plan that blends professional and personal space.
