Bring your vision to one of downtown Ely’s most versatile commercial properties. Offering approximately 7,000 square feet across two full levels, this building provides an impressive amount of space, flexibility, and income-producing potential in a high-visibility location near the heart of downtown. The main floor includes approximately 3,450 square feet and is well-suited for a wide range of commercial uses. Its combination of open floor space, private offices, bathrooms, utility area, and rear access options creates exciting potential for retail, office, studio, service-based, recreational, or light commercial use. The layout may also allow the main level to be separated into two individual business spaces, offering flexibility for an owner-occupant, investor, or entrepreneur looking to launch multiple concepts under one roof.

With a separate entrance, this level could continue as a commercial space, be used for events or entertainment, or potentially be converted into residential apartments. A rear patio area adds additional usable space, complemented by ample off-street parking. With two full levels, separate access points, and a layout that invites creativity, this property is ready for someone with imagination and ambition.
