Property Description
Endless possibilities await with this unique large-scale commercial property ideally positioned in a prime Sterling location directly adjacent to McDonald's. Offering over 25,748 sq. ft., this expansive facility presents exceptional potential for a variety of commercial, institutional, office, educational, residential care, or redevelopment opportunities. Originally constructed in the late 1960s with approximately 18,498 sq. ft., the building was thoughtfully expanded with a 4,150 sq. ft. addition in 1991 and an additional 2,500 sq. ft. expansion in 2003. The original structure features block, steel, and brick veneer construction, while the additions include metal stud walls with vinyl siding. The facility has comprehensive fire protection systems, including sprinkler systems added in 1991 and 2003, with the entire building fully sprinklered in 2006. Fire alarm systems are directly monitored by a local agency, and additional safety features include smoke detectors, heat detectors, horn/strobe lighting, smoke separation doors, positive latch panic hardware, suppression systems, and fire extinguishers throughout. Inside, the property offers numerous rooms totaling space for approximately 79 beds, nearly 19 bathrooms, spacious common areas, a full commercial kitchen with dumbwaiter access, and a partial basement previously utilized for laundry and kitchen operations. The versatile layout allows for a wide range of potential future uses. Outdoor amenities include a fenced courtyard complete with a small pond, detached garage with electric and internet service, plus two additional storage sheds, one equipped with electricity. A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial commercial property with extensive infrastructure already in place in one of Sterling's most visible and convenient locations.
