Property Description

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF DOWNTOWN HISTORY Step back in time with this breathtaking commercial and residential portfolio in the heart of Tuscola. Spanning 8,208 sq ft across three combined buildings, this property is a masterclass in turn-of-the-century character, meticulously maintained for the next generation of ownership. As the anchor of the portfolio, 101 W Sale is the home of the legendary Flesor's Candy Kitchen. Dazzle your senses with original mosaic tile flooring, rich mahogany trim, and historic built-in booths lit by lanterns that could tell a century of stories. The centerpiece is a pristine marble soda fountain and ice cream bar complete with antique wooden stools. Includes three wooden display cases and a unique historic teller booth. The sale is turn-key, including all restaurant and candy-making equipment. The upper level features a nearly finished 1,425 sq ft apartment (just needs a kitchen!) plus an additional 1,425 sq ft unfinished "blank canvas" ready to be converted into high-end loft rentals. 103 W Sale St seamlessly connected, this building mirrors the main shop's beauty with continued tiled flooring, two built-in booths, and walls lined with floor-to-ceiling wooden bookshelves. Ideal for overflow seating, a private event space, or a specialized boutique. This building also houses the commercial bathrooms, extensive kitchen storage, and a large walk-in freezer/refrigerator. The upper level on 103 W Sale offers 2,736 sq ft of space, currently used for storage but brimming with potential for a residential conversion or a premier commercial studio. 105 W Sale is the home hub of the sweets! As it is where the second kitchen and all specialized equipment, including a granite cooling table, chocolate coaters, dipping tables, and a cream beater are positioned in the back. As you move to the front, you will pass through another space that could be used as a conference room, serving area or more overflow seating. The front of this building features stunning exposed brick and a large storefront window directly on Sale St-perfect for a "Secret Speakeasy" or a second retail concept. In July 2024, the building underwent a massive structural renovation. While the facade maintains its historic soul, it now boasts modern structural integrity thanks to significant renovations to the front of the building and masonry. This property is not just a landmark; it is a stabilized, well-maintained asset built to last for decades to come.
