First Floor: The Classic "Beer Cave" & Storefront
The Footprint: A spacious, open-concept commercial layout featuring the building's classic walk-in "Beer Cave."
The Potential: Retain the commercial infrastructure for a boutique retail shop or grocery, or completely reimagine it. This level features ideal structural bones for an art gallery, community center, performance space, or creative studio.
Second Floor: Grand Live/Work Apartment
The Footprint: An incredibly large and airy 3-bedroom apartment complete with a living room, dining room, and full bathroom.
The Potential: Flooded with abundant natural light, this sprawling flat is the ultimate setup for a live/work studio. Live upstairs while running your dream business below, or use the entire second floor as an expansive, sun-drenched creative workshop.
+ Endless Possibilities +
From a hyper-local neighborhood hub to a private artistic compound, properties with this level of character, flexible zoning, and location upside rarely hit the market. Bring your tools, your talent, and your timeline to build something extraordinary in Detroit's most dynamic creative district.
