131 12th Avenue N A standout commercial property in the heart of downtown Creston, currently home to Kingfisher Books, a beloved local bookstore and coffee shop that has been a quiet gathering spot in the community for years. The building sits on a 3, 750 sq ft lot at 131 12th Avenue N with strong street frontage and excellent visibility in one of Creston's busiest and most walkable downtown blocks. The main floor offers 1, 611 sq ft of warm, character filled space with custom built wood shelving, cozy reading nooks, a full coffee bar, a children's corner, and a 2 piece bathroom. The main level also opens onto a private back deck with mountain views, a great spot for outdoor seating or a quiet break from the workday. Downstairs, a walk out basement adds another 1, 670 sq ft that carries the bookstore feel right through, with more wall to wall shelving, additional reading and lounge spaces, and a second 2 piece bathroom. Parking is on the street out front and at the rear of the building for owners and staff. Flexible CDC zoning opens the door to a wide range of uses, retail, cafe, office, studio, gallery, professional services, or something completely new. The layout works well as is or could easily be reconfigured to suit a different kind of business across both floors. Properties like this rarely come up in downtown Creston, a chance to own a well known piece of the community with built in foot traffic, character, and a high visibility downtown location. (id:203)
