This 1908 building was totally gutted and reimagined by GeorgeArchitecture in 2012 into an extremely impressive first-class two-story 4,276 square foot restaurant. The owner spent well over $1 Million in improvements to include: structural, mechanical, and complete electrical and plumbing upgrades. Included in the price, is a Bulk Sale of all the restaurant assets that includes a Type 47 Liquor License, FF&E and the inventory. The restaurant is in impeccable condition, requiring only that the operator customize the location to their concept. The ground floor boasts 40 feet of storefront with usable mezzanine space that includes a 1500 bottle wine cellar. A new floor-joist system and exposed-beam ceiling replaced a continuous load-bearing wall that previously divided both floors in half. Designed with 14-foot ground floor ceiling heights, custom iron and glass globes provide the creative lighting necessary for spaces with tall ceilings. This restaurant design includes an industrial high-end kitchen, two bathrooms on each floor, and full-service bars on each floor. Spaces dedicated to preparation, storage, cleanup and utilities reside behind the open kitchen that includes a 375 square foot walk-in cooler. The roof is new, and a state-of-the-art air conditioning system was installed. There is indoor seating for approximately 112 people, while another 34 diners can be accommodated on the 448 square foot rear patio, that is canopied by a 100-year old oak tree. Now that the Gold Line has been solidly in place for 18 years, Mission Street has once again become a center for pedestrian traffic with a 97 Walk Score! All the new proposed developments contain residential components, with bonus densities if they offer public parking. The street traffic has 19,000 cars daily. The surrounding neighborhood is populated by casual dining establishments, coffee shops, bakeries, antique shops, boutique clothing stores, and designer showrooms. There is an abundance of free street parking and additional free parking at the 142-space parking structure on Meridian, directly across the street from the subject. Access to the 110 Freeway is several blocks away off Fair Oaks.
