Description

This commercially zoned property offers an outstanding opportunity for business owners, investors, or owner-operators looking for a flexible commercial site with room to grow. Most recently operated as a flower shop (business not included), this property is ideally suited for retail, office, greenhouse operation, landscaping supply, garden center, or specialty commercial use. Situated on approximately 1 acre more or less, the property includes a commercial building with large display windows, a checkout area, and an attached garage with 10' garage door-perfect for deliveries, storage, or workspace. Additional exterior covered storage. Two separate unfinished basement areas. The property is equipped with a 6x13' walk-in cooler, and a 19x17' non-functioning walk-in and an attached greenhouse (in need of some TLC). Located on a commercially zoned lot, this property offers the flexibility to support a wide variety of business uses and investment strategies. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique commercial property with some extra space, specialized infrastructure, and strong future potential.
