Originally built as the neighborhood grocery store, this well-kept historic building has been a pillar of the community for decades. Today, it's ready to embrace a new chapter while preserving the character that makes it so unique.
The building's current layout is a tri-plex with two upstairs units and a spacious ground-level unit, all occupied by long-term tenants who appreciate the building's charm and convenient location. It's a turnkey investment property with immediate rental income already in place.
The current owner has also begun renovations in the back of the building to create a studio apartment that could serve as a fourth unit. This is a versatile space that could become a home for the new owner or an additional income-producing rental unit. With its distinct history and flexible layout, this property offers endless possibilities.
Beyond its investment potential, 717 Cates St is a storied landmark that invites you to become part of its history. Whether you're searching for a property with deep community roots, a home that's walkable to the best of Maryville, or a chance to restore and elevate a piece of local heritage, this is the perfect canvas.
Opportunities like this don't come along every day. This isn't just an investment; it's a chance to write your own chapter in the story of College Hill. Reach out for your own personal showing.
