Description

This is your opportunity to own a piece of history, the iconic Martinek's building, built in 1922, along with its clock, can be yours!! The upstairs condo space has been taken down to the original beams and brick to create the perfect downtown living space. Gorgeous views of Boardman River and West Bay grace the large windows facing directly north. A private entrance leads to the second floor, with natural light pouring in from the north and south bay windows. The possibilities are endless with this space, a stunning kitchen with expansive center island could be a possibility, ceilings are high enough for a potential loft-space. Plumbing is installed for kitchen and bathroom. The current tenant, Robert Frost, would love to stay as a long term tenant. Main floor was completely gutted and remodeled in 2012, with original polished Terrazzo marble throughout. Plenty of parking in the back, two wide, three deep. Sale includes $15k worth of condo drawings, including electrical, fire suppression, plumbing, & structural code review.

"we live here and love our location on the river with kayaks, etc, floating by. a 10 minute walk places you downtown with State theatre and "foodie", non franchise restaurants & shopping. 5 minutes more is on Lake Michigan swimming beach & boat rentals."

"Live here 7 months and totally enjoy the walking proximity to downtown activities and restaurants, as well as Clinch Park & marina. Having an enclosed porch on the river has its own pleasure, given the armada of kayaks & flatboards passing by: also most meals & happy hours are spent here. "
