[MORE PHOTOS COMING SOON!] The newly remodeled Front Porch is an iconic coffee shop in charming Ely, Minnesota. Highlighted by its a large wrap-around 410 sf dining deck as well as over 1000 sf of retail and dining space indoors, it is truly one-of-a-kind in the heart of Ely. The main building features 1500 sf and encompasses a well-equipped kitchen, a generous barista / service / counter area, a dedicated retail nook, a private meeting room with French doors, two public restrooms (one handicap accessible), and a large dining room with a corner (gas) fireplace. Steps down from the kitchen hallway lead to shelved and well-lit 225 sf basement storage area. The rear entrance and a small side deck both lead to a lovely covered patio offering an additional 310 sf dining area with built-in benchwork. The detached garage behind the property also features plenty of additional open storage space as well as an insulated 110 sf fridge/freezer room plus a heated 100 sf upstairs office with two large windows that overlook the main building. The back driveway also has two large parking spots, currently in use as an owner/renter spot as well as a dedicated handicap parking spot for customers with a wheelchair-accessible rear entrance. But that's not all..! For use by future owners (or as a rental/B&B for an additional stream of income), steps from the rear of the main building lead up to a private sitting and BBQ deck and a very nice 575 sf apartment. This 2nd-floor apartment has two oversized living room windows, a private bedroom, a walk-in closet, as well as a kitchen with eating nook and 3/4 bath, and has updated fixtures and lighting throughout. Between the one-of-a-kind wrap-around sitting deck in front and the delightful covered patio in the rear, the expansive main floor with its new cabin-in-the-woods look, multiple storage areas, a private office, as well as the upstairs private deck and dedicated owner’s / rental / B&B apartment, the Front Porch encompasses over 3100 sf of indoor and outdoor living, dining, and commercial retail space to make your "up north" dream come true!
