203 W GRAND RIVER Avenue

Howell City Livingston, MI 48843

Smack dab in the Historic/Social District of Downtown Howell, the brick building screams opportunity for an entrepreneur to open a spectacular business that will wow the pedestrian foot traffic gathering within THE "Best Main Street" in America, as voted by readers of USA Today! An original interior boasts the 1927 hardwood floors & exposed brick walls on both floors that can tell you tales if you listen, a boiler for the entire building, kitchen on 1st/2nd floors, spacious storage room/garage with access to Elephant Alley (the location where a visiting circus elephant from long ago passed away and is buried, or so the story goes). Owners have completed a list of upgrades since purchase in 2010, began/operates the renowned Heart of Michigan retail store/internet business, and has created everyone's favorite pasty in the store's kitchen. Owners will consider selling the business to those interested in carrying on the brain-stormed business designed/developed by themselves. But if you have your own creative business idea, here are some of the special features that can make your plan pop...maybe a mixture of retail and restaurant/bar. Add an elevator to the 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) for your business w/a patio/bar component to draw and hold the patrons, very popular in cities across USA. But up here on this roof, overlooking Elephant Alley, we have an exceptional theme to draw in your patrons...which equals to more than "peanuts" for your business! The dry basement has exceptional storage as well. Howell is booming. The 2025 Depot Lot project for downtown will include 190 parking spots, ice rink, firepits, benches/gathering areas...it's time to get in on the hottest downtown development in America. Grand River car count in excess of 8000/daily & will only grow further. Appt required for a showing, please contact list agent
