Historic Commercial Building | Fully Restored | Event & Creative Space Rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored historic commercial building offering approximately 1,855 square feet of character-rich space. Originally constructed in 1911, this distinctive property was completely restored and renovated in 2018, thoughtfully preserving much of its original charm and architectural character. The building has a fascinating history, having served over the years as a laundry, storehouse, and speakeasy. A portion of that history remains on display, including the original speakeasy door. Original tin walls and ceilings have been retained throughout the majority of the building, complemented by beautifully restored hardwood floors. A custom-built staircase connects the levels, while the functional kitchen on the first floor features stainless steel appliances, rolling carts, durable rubber flooring, easy-to-clean walls, a mechanical room, and convenient storage. The second story has roughly 700 Sq ft of event space plus a restroom and additional closet storage space. A covered porch wraps around the exterior, providing valuable additional sheltered space and enhancing the property's appeal for gatherings and special events. Currently utilized as a venue for special events and art shows, the property offers tremendous flexibility for continued event use, or allowed use within the C-T Zone for the B1 District. All equipment is included, including tables, folding chairs, and a mobile bar, making this a turnkey opportunity. A truly unique property where history, craftsmanship, and modern functionality come together. This building is located within the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) Redevelopment Ready Community Zone.
