Property Description
Make your business stand out with a location that has a story of its own! Located within the historic Ellwood/Mayo family estate, built in 1895, this approximately 650 square foot commercial space combines distinctive historic character with the visibility and convenience of downtown DeKalb. The space features its own separate exterior entrance, access to the building's common areas, and a private closet for additional storage. Its size and layout offer flexibility for professional office, boutique retail, studio, service-based business, or other permitted commercial uses. Tenants also have access to shared amenities including a common meeting space, restrooms, and the property's beautiful wraparound porch. Rent includes utilities, providing added convenience and predictable monthly costs. The owner will consider providing furnishings to help make moving into the space even easier. Original woodwork, stained glass windows, fireplaces, and architectural details throughout the property provide a memorable setting that is difficult to duplicate in traditional commercial space. Located at 1st Street and Route 38/Lincoln Highway DeKalb IL in the central business district, the property offers excellent visibility with strong traffic counts and convenient access to Northern Illinois University's main campus, government offices, downtown businesses, shops, and area amenities.
