203 W GRAND RIVER Avenue , Howell, MI 48843(Livingston County)

Smack dab in Social District of Downtown Howell MI, this 2-stry historic brick building screams opportunity for another entrepreneur's successful business venture that wows Howell foot traffic gathering within THE "Best Main St" in America, as voted by readers of USA Today! The original exterior is complimented by an interior boasting 1927 wood flrs & exposed brick walls that can tell you tales if you listen closely, original tin ceilings, huge storage area/garage w/access to Elephant Alley (the location where a visiting circus elephant from long ago passed away & laid to rest, as the story goes), & a lovely 2nd floor 2BR apartment. Owners, finished a list of upgrades since the purchase in 2010, operate the renowned & trademarked Heart of Michigan retail store/internet business, & created everyone's favorite pasty in the store's kitchen. These entrepreneurial owners would sell the business to a buyer interested in carrying on their successful business. OR, if you have your own business plan, here are some special features that can make your business plan pop...be it retail, service, a mixture of both or a restaurant/bar. Add an elevator to the existing 2nd flr 1128sf apartment to expand your business further. The apartment opens up onto a flat roof (67'x20') which is begging (yes, listen to the roof too, it has a lot to say as well) for your business w/a patio/bar component to draw and hold the patrons, very popular in USA nowadays. But up here on this roof, overlooking Elephant Alley, we have an exceptional theme to draw in your patrons...which equals to more than just "peanuts" for a business! A dry basement has exceptional storage as well. Howell is booming. The 2025 Depot Lot project for Howell will include 190 parking spots, ice rink, firepits, benches/gathering areas...it's time to invest in the hottest downtown area in America. Grand River's car count is in excess of 8000/daily & will only grow. Appt required for a showing, please contact list agent
