Notes: |
Nestled in vibrant downtown Independence, this historic 3-story commercial building, constructed in 1876, presents a unique blend of charm, potential, and versatility. With its rich architectural details and strategic location, it offers an exceptional opportunity for investors or business owners looking to infuse new life into a piece of history. The ground floor is dedicated to retail or office space providing high visibility for any business. As you ascend to the 2nd and 3rd floors, you're introduced to expansive living quarters that hark back to the building's historic roots. These levels have been equipped with newer windows on the street-facing (south) side, ensuring abundant natural light and a pleasing aesthetic from both inside and out. The 2nd floor’s hardwood floors add warmth and character to the space. A whimsical touch to this building is a disco ball on the 3rd floor, hardwired and ready to illuminate events or add a unique flair to the living space. The building features practical amenities including half baths on the 1st and 3rd floors and a 3/4 bath on the 2nd floor. Smoke detectors are hardwired into the 2nd and 3rd floors ensuring peace of mind. Most of the wiring was updated approximately 20 years ago to include breakers. The 2nd and 3rd floors boast separate heating zones and both of these levels along with the full basement offer substantial storage space. The roof was replaced in 2018 and can be accessed from the 3rd floor. A back courtyard is enclosed by a privacy fence. Parking is convenient with two allotted spaces and additional city parking in the rear, and front street parking. This property, while needing a visionary's touch to unlock its full potential, stands as a testament to the blend of historical charm and modern opportunity. |
