Property Description
Great opportunity to own a well-known neighborhood bar and grill in the heart of Crete PLUS a large former dental office that you can rent for additional cash flow. With prominent visibility, ample parking, and its proximity to the Fire Department and City Hall (literally steps away), this site presents a compelling opportunity for redevelopment into a medical or specialty clinic in an area lacking immediate hospital access. This location currently offers a spacious dining area, full bar setup, and strong local visibility-perfect for an owner-operator or investor looking to add value. The properties second unit has its own entrance, ideal for a dentist office, professional office, podcast studio, or other business ideas. The second unit does need work, but offers tremendous potential for additional income or expansion. A versatile, high-traffic commercial property with multiple revenue streams, including gaming, ready for its next owner. There is also city TIF funds the new owner can apply to make improvements or bigger projects to help further grow your business. The owner may be open to a "contract for deed" with a reasonable deposit OR even rental. CALL AND SCHEDULE YOUR SHOWING TODAY & ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
