Property Description
Opportunity Knocks in the Heart of Downtown Martinez! Located just one block from vibrant downtown Main Street, 516 Ward Street offers a rare chance to reimagine a property with endless potential. Formerly operated as a motorcycle sales and repair business, the property features a storefront/showroom in the front and a large workshop area in the rear. Originally built as a single-family residence, portions of the home's original layout and features remain, including a bathroom, offering intriguing possibilities for future use. This is a major fixer-upper and is being sold in its present condition, making it ideal for investors, entrepreneurs, contractors, or visionaries looking to create something special. Buyers are encouraged to verify with the City of Martinez regarding permitted uses and the possibility of converting the property back to a residence, utilizing it for commercial purposes, or exploring mixed-use options. With its prime location near shops, restaurants, breweries, and community events, this property presents a unique opportunity to invest in one of Martinez's most desirable downtown districts. Bring your imagination and unlock the potential of 516 Ward Street!
