LONGTIME CARY COMMERCIAL LOCATION | FREESTANDING BUILDING + EQUIPMENT INCLUDED! An exciting opportunity to own a highly recognizable commercial property in Cary. This approximately 1,587 sq. ft. freestanding building sits on an approximately 0.42-acre site with dedicated on-site parking and strong visibility along Crystal Street. Ideally located near Downtown Cary, close to Route 14, and near the Cary Metra station, this property benefits from excellent accessibility and strong daily car exposure in a well-traveled area. Its convenient location makes it attractive for both local customers and commuter traffic. Currently utilized as a dessert/ice cream location, the property offers an existing customer service area and food-service buildout, making it an attractive option for a coffee shop, bakery, ice cream or dessert concept, cafe, quick-service concept, or other retail use. Building and included equipment are being offered for sale. Recent mechanical improvements include a new furnace (2024), two A/C units (2024), water heater (2023), and new gas meter. B1 zoning provides flexibility for a variety of potential commercial uses. Buyers may also explore the possibility of adding a drive-thru, subject to Village of Cary review and approval. A rare opportunity for an owner-user or entrepreneur to purchase a freestanding commercial property, establish their own concept, and build equity rather than lease.
