Exceptional opportunity to be in the heart of downtown Ypsilanti along well traveled Michigan Avenue. Currently being utilized as an open floor retail space, but can easily be transformed into office. Well maintained building with access to street parking directly in front and municipal parking directly in the rear. Plenty of storage space in basement.
Surrounded by neighboring businesses and upper residential units, this space is less than one mile from the Eastern Michigan University campus. Exemplary location for almost any business!
