Discover an exceptional investment opportunity in the heart of historic downtown Faribault, a vibrant and rapidly growing city conveniently located off I-35. This unique property places you right amidst charming restaurants, local retail shops, and scenic parks and trails. Faribault's lively community and the soon-to-be-opened Viaduct Park-featuring a splash pad, skating area, concessions, and gathering spaces-make this an ideal spot to house and grow your business and also your rental portfolio. Find endless potential here as the main floor which currently functions as a retail & event space, but would be perfect for a number of different small business types. Perhaps a boutique shop, ice cream parlor, beauty service day spa, a unique office space, a small restaurant, or specialty candy store...bring your ideas! The space can easily adapt to match your vision, whatever it may be. An occupied one-bedroom apartment on the upper floor offers the option for either short-term rental, benefiting from the nearby wedding venue, or a stable long-term rental income. With extremely low vacancy rates in Faribault, the residential unit is a prime investment feature. Options of converting 600 sq ft of the rear main floor into a rental studio, would allow you to maintain a storefront while securing additional rental revenue. This rare find includes an attached garage and a private green space, combining the best of downtown accessibility with a touch of nature. The property is perfect for an entrepreneur looking to invest in a thriving area with multiple revenue streams. Seize this unique opportunity to be part of Faribault's growth and bring your business or investment ideas to life!
