Overview

This first-floor retail space is located in a historic building and includes approximately 3,400 square feet of interior area. The layout features a reception area, storage room, dressing room, two restrooms, four treatment rooms, and a kitchen. Finishes include maple, ceramic, and vinyl tile floors, and the space is listed as HDA compliant. Large east and north windows help provide natural light and views.

The property is positioned in the heart of Downtown Champaign at 41 E University Avenue. The listing notes high visibility and a high traffic count. It also sits across the street from the Illinois Terminal hub, a consolidated location for inter-city bus service, rail passenger service, and major local mass transit connections. Public parking is available across the street, and private lease parking is also noted as available.

The space was formerly used as a salon, and the current configuration can support a variety of tenant types, including restaurant, retail, or general business use.
