Closed yesterday

[94legaleagle]

Just finished closing on this yesterday - it's about 90' wide, and about 35' deep - from left to right: very left small overhead garage door goes into what used to be offices w/ carpeted floor; the small white overhead door to the right and next larger overhead door (door w/ 3 windows) goes into a 33' wide x 35 deep bay (and 10' storage / bathroom / utility area), then the farthest right 2 overhead doors go into a 30' wide x 35 deep bay

fully wired, insulated and tinned on the inside - wood stove in the middle bay (not sure if keeping that or not)

Lot is 200' x 300' - boardered by a beautiful walking path and it's about 5 blocks from my house

I've got a Challenger 24012 12,000 lb lift (used and needing some repairs) waiting to be installed in the middle bay

Congratulation! That is one heck of a nice shop. Keep us posted on the changes/improvements you make.

CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW SLICE OF HEAVEN!

Sounds like this place is already set up for a total restoration/painting/storage/man-cave. Does the walking path extend to your home? So close, it'll be an easy stroll anytime you feel the urge; no need to waste any gas getting there. Can the wood stove be converted to accept a more convenient fuel? What are you thinking in the way of security/monitoring? Keep us posted as you make this new place yours!

WOWO - awesome!! Is it just a shop on a lot? No house? Is it zoned commerecial?

Answers thus far: It's just a shop building on a large lot - NO house on this lot - lot is zoned commercial -

walking path d/n exend to my house, but the streets are paved (and some sidewalk) goes from my house to this building - no problem walking there, but MAYBE a golf cart should be in the future for transporation???

primary intended purpose is storage, despite the lift that I'll install there; reason - I currently have a pretty good shop / garage right next to my house (my "house shop" area is 24' wide x 30' deep w/ 8' x 24' storage area - but, my "house shop" has a 9' ceiling where as this building has an 11' ceiling - I do plan on changing some oil on the lift at this building - but most of my shop work gets done next to my house in the "house shop"

primary purpose of this building will be for storage - I consider my self the "poster child" for "need more storage space" - boat, pontoon, vehicles, snowmobiles, etc . . .

the very right hand bay (2 large garage doors w/ no windows on the far right) might be rented out to provide enough $$$ to cover taxes, costs, etc . . .
