Central Avenue Bistro and Marketplace · Retail Property For Sale

Turn-key opportunity! This stunning property was originally built between 1896 and 1901 for one of Cameron's leading businessmen who was responsible for several successful businesses in Cameron including the original light company. The home is located in the business district and was in danger of being condemned when one of the current owners, a chemical engineer, saw that it was for sale and called her mother, an artist, and suggested the buy the house and renovate it. This duo has been renovating and building homes for years and wanted to see this gorgeous home saved. After working for two years bringing this beauty back to life, they had no idea what to do with the property after it was complete and decided to open a restaurant with light food and let people tour the building. Three months after opening Covid shut them down. Rather than withdraw, they took the time to add onto the kitchen with a large grill and commercial grade vent system to start serving steaks from the famed 44 Farms in Cameron. The addition to the kitchen also features a walk-up window for take-out orders. Additionally, there is a 2000 (approximately) square foot patio covered by a magnificent old oak tree. The CAB Backyard brick wall adds a stage area and is a favorite backdrop for photos. The restaurant is currently open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights only. Most Saturday evenings there is live entertainment. This chemical engineer and artist have other projects already in the works and want to pass the restaurant and beautiful home to a new owner. The stunning construction is built with a very solid foundation and the original beauty is preserved for future generations to enjoy. The restaurant is fully equipped, and turn-key.
