Property Description
The building is currently operating as a private event space and social club, fully tax-exempt under a 501(c)(7) nonprofit designation. This exemption is grandfathered in under the current zoning, meaning the building has been legally functioning in a commercial capacity despite being located within a Residential R-3 zone. This “legal non-conforming use” allows continued operation as an event hall, private club, charter school, daycare, community center, church, or any other qualifying nonprofit use without the need for zoning changes. The tax-exempt status is transferable to a new owner, provided the use remains within qualifying parameters. Alternatively, if your vision changes, the property can be converted back to residential use, with future development potential across nearly 2 acres under R-3 zoning.
Inside, the building is divided into two main areas. One side features a spacious banquet hall with high ceilings, carpeting, a stage, multiple restrooms, and an open layout ideal for weddings, fundraisers, and community events. The other side includes a lounge and bar area, fully built out with a bar, TVs, and pool table — perfect for a social club, youth center, or adult recreation zone. Additional flex rooms can be used as offices, photo corners, waiting areas, or storage.
Utilities include public water, sewer, electric, and natural gas, with central air and gas heat throughout. While kitchen equipment may not be included, the kitchen is already outfitted with ventilation, making for a smooth transition for future use.
Seller financing is available with negotiable terms, including a balloon payment option over 2–5 years. The property has no known structural, electrical, or plumbing issues, and there are no open permits or violations. With its zoning flexibility, transferable tax exemption, and wide range of use options, this is a true turn-key opportunity for a business owner, savvy investor, or organization looking for a long-term base. Sellers are also willing to sell the business only, without the real estate — inquire within!
