Marketing description

This beautiful Beaverdale Brick property is located in the highly sought-after Valley Junction neighborhood. The site includes two buildings: a retail space currently used as a furnished rental, and a multi-unit office/retail building. Both buildings have been meticulously maintained and offer a perfect blend of historic charm with modern amenities. The interiors are adorned with unique furnishings and artwork, which provide a distinctive character you won't find in typical commercial properties.

The property is complemented by stunning landscaping, featuring a vibrant array of trees, shrubs, and perennials that enhance the outdoor appeal and create a welcoming atmosphere.

With prime retail frontage along 1st Street (Highway 28), this location boasts excellent visibility, receiving over 25,200 average annual daily traffic (AADT) as of 2023. A standout feature of this property is the prominent front marquee signage, situated at one of the main entrances to Valley Junction. This signage provides excellent visibility and exposure for any business located here.

Sitting on a spacious 0.44-acre lot, the property offers incredible versatility, with countless opportunities for various commercial uses. Whether for retail, office spaces, or a combination of both, the site is ideal for investors or business owners looking to capitalize on its prime location and multiple rental options. Additionally, there is a separate garage with its own utility connections, perfect for storage or a small business rental space.

The property includes generous parking for tenants and customers, with 15 private off-street spaces and ample on-street parking. It is zoned VJC with conditional CZ3 zoning, and the main building is equipped with a fire/smoke alarm system and a sprinkler system for enhanced safety.

The property is situated within the Historic West Des Moines Boundary, making it eligible for property improvement and regulatory compliance funds.
