This is the perfect location for your business, so close to everything the downtown has to offer. Plenty of traffic on Elm street means great exposure for your business and there is a municipal parking lot right across the street. Commercial C2 zoning allows for a variety of uses. The floorplan features a centralized customer service counter, a break room and a dedicated office. The service counter and display fixtures can stay. There is also a garage with an overhead door that leads to double doors and provides easy interior access for deliveries. A new roof and gutters were installed in late 2024 so this one is ready to go. This has been the longtime home of BJ's Decorating Center and after 55 years BJ is finally retiring! The business is available for purchase separately. ## Location - **Address:** 325 W Elm Street, Sycamore, IL 60178 - **County:** DeKalb ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Charles Kirkwood - **Brokerage:** Honig Realty, Inc.
