LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Commercially zoned property situated directly across the street from the Illinois State University campus, offering a rare opportunity for investors, developers, or business owners. Previously utilized as a detached single-family student rental, the property provides several potential paths for future use. Continue operating it as student housing, repurpose the existing structure for another permitted commercial use, or take advantage of the prime location and redevelop the site. With its highly visible location immediately adjacent to ISU and an affordable acquisition price, this property offers exciting potential for both immediate use and future redevelopment with very little risk as the ground it sits on is just as valuable. Perfect for someone with a student at the university wanting something in walking distance to classes with easy resale after graduation.
