Retail for sale at 63 5th Street
Earn while you live in a character-rich, high-visibility former church with a flexible open-plan nave, multiple income streams, solar power, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and extensive parking.
This is not just a property. It is a living, income-producing asset wrapped in history, character, and opportunity.
High ceilings. Solid structure. A building that has stood the test of time — and is still generating returns today.
Currently configured as a multi-income hub, this property is already working for you from day one:
Established restaurant space (refer to the staged photos for a coffee shop /bakery and or gift shop or even a church for a small congregation etc)
Active nail bar
Operational hair salon
Additional rental income from courier services
Immediate cash flow + long-term upside = strategic acquisition.
What Sets This Apart
Business rights secured — rare and powerful in a residential setting
Multiple income streams already in place
High visibility potential with electronic display board
Solar installed — reducing operational costs and future-proofing the asset
On-site parking — essential for both residential and commercial use
Functional layout including kitchen, restrooms, reception/entrance, and yard space
The Hidden Advantage (Where Vision Wins)
This property was originally a church over 100 years ago — and the bones are still here.
With minimal structural adjustment (partitioning can be removed), you unlock:
A full open-plan Nave (congregation seating area)
Defined space for Altar / Pulpit
A welcoming Vestibule / Narthex
A versatile Multi-purpose hall for events, gatherings, or community use
This is not theory — this is reversible design with historical alignment.
Strategic Positioning Options
You are not buying a property. You are choosing a business model:
Keep it as-is → multi-tenant income generator
Reconfigure → flagship church / place of worship
Hybrid model → community + commercial (events, wellness, co-working, training hub)
Boutique conversion → creative studios, offices, or lifestyle destination
Let’s Address Reality
“It’s too niche” → The zoning and current usage remove that risk. Income is already diversified.
“Conversion costs?” → Minimal structural changes required; the volume and layout already support open-plan use.
“Will it attract tenants?” → It already does. The demand is proven, not speculative.
“Is it outdated?” → No — it’s character-rich, which is exactly what modern businesses and communities are seeking.
The Bottom Line
This is for the buyer who understands:
Cash flow + flexibility + historical identity = long-term leverage.
Properties like this don’t compete on price alone — they compete on possibility.
If you’re looking for something ordinary, this is not it.
If you’re looking to own a space that pays you, grows with you, and tells a story — this is your move.
