Property Description

This is a rare opportunity to own a unique property in the heart of Niantic Village on Main Street, featuring both panoramic water views and on-site parking. The nearly 3000 sq ft building offers numerous possibilities. Currently, it operates as a retail store in front with an attached apartment in back, however, it can easily be transformed into a single large retail space, professional office, restaurant, or single-family home. Additionally, there is an option to build additional floors and maintain a mixed-use approach. There are 7 parking spaces in front of the store and room in back for several more. It is the first time in 30 years this property has been for sale, so don't miss your chance to be part of the recent revitalization of Main Street!
