203 W GRAND RIVER Avenue

Howell City, MI 48843

Smack dab in the Social District of Downtown Howell MI, this 2-story historic brick building screams opportunity for another entrepreneur's successful business venture that will wow the Howell pedestrian foot traffic gathering within THE "Best Main Street" in America, as voted by readers of USA Today! The original exterior is complimented by an interior that boasts 1927 oak floors & exposed brick walls on 2 floors that can tell you tales if you listen closely, a kitchen on both floors, spacious storage room/garage with access to Elephant Alley (the location where a visiting circus elephant from long ago passed away and was laid to rest, as the story goes), and a lovely 2nd floor 2BR apartment. Owners, have finished a list of upgrades since their purchase in 2010, operate the renowned Heart of Michigan retail store/internet business, & created everyone's favorite pasty in the store's kitchen. These entrepreneurial owners may 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 floor 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 get in on 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
