Positioned along the highly visible East Colfax corridor, this distinctive commercial property offers a rare opportunity to own a versatile retail and community-oriented space with deep local roots. The 3,821 square foot freestanding building sits on a 6,250 square foot lot and provides excellent street presence, strong accessibility, and flexible E-MS-5 zoning (Urban Edge – Main Street), allowing for a wide range of commercial and mixed-use possibilities. Currently home to a long-standing bookstore with over 20 years of retail history, the property carries an established identity and loyal customer base while offering multiple paths forward for investors, owner-users, or mission-driven organizations. The functional layout includes expansive retail areas, flexible upper-level space, and multiple utility areas, making it well-suited for continued retail use, office conversion, studio space, or community-focused concepts. With strong daily traffic, a highly walkable location, and proximity to surrounding residential neighborhoods, the property benefits from consistent visibility and built-in consumer flow. Buyers also have the option to explore acquisition of the existing bookstore business, offering a turnkey opportunity or a foundation to build upon an already successful concept. Zoning supports a wide variety of uses including retail, restaurant, café, office, studio, and redevelopment potential up to 5 stories, making this an attractive long-term hold or repositioning opportunity. Confidential financials available upon request with signed NDA.
