## Description

### Agent Description
Quintessential historic masonry store front in revitalizing Independence begs your imagination to run wild. A blank slate, this building has been gutted with many renovations completed including new windows, new electrical panels, new water supply line, new 10-year roof coating, spray foam insulation under roof decking, and newly redesigned apartment floor plan upstairs. This approx 1100 sf comm space downstairs can be re-imagined into so many types of business - coffee shop, bakery, retail, real estate office and more. A most unique detail of this property is that it sits on 2 CITY LOTS adding to the redevelopment possibilities! Come be part of the renaissance of historic main street Louisiana!
