Looking for an adventure? Here it is! The Alger Motel can be yours. BUT, it doesnâ??t have to be a motel â?? most recently it was used as studio apartments or short term stays for those needing a place to live, or what about a day care with separate class rooms or napping rooms. So many possibilities - what are your ideas? As a motel it has been closed for a number of years and has a history as a local motel on the main road for vacationers heading north. And, have you heard of Ivaâ??s Chicken in Sterling? The motel is only 8.3 miles north of Ivaâ??s! The motel had a new roof in 2016, and septic and well upgrades in 2018, some of the windows have been replaced with energy efficient windows, and some of the shower stalls have been upgraded with modern ones, and there are two 200 amp circuit breaker panels. Motel has 9 rooms and a living-quarters for on-site living and/or as the office area, and includes all the mini refrigerators, microwaves, bed frames, and other contents. The motel needs work to get it open again but all looks sound with the structure. The original structure is brick on a cement slab foundation, the wood enclosure you see when pulling into the parking lot was added later to create a single entrance with heated hallways to each of the rooms. Seller is open to look at all offers - this is an â??as isâ? sale.
Great location for this large mixed use building. Currently used for two different retail spots and a machine shop. (note that all retail inventory and fixtures are NOT included in the sale, being removed; machinery in the machine shop is also being removed ~ relocating to a different building). The block building is approx 1934 sq ft and the connecting machine shop approx 1812 sq ft. Retail space has high ceilings with lots of overhead lighting. Ceilings are insulated garage door panels. Building has an indoor wood furnace with a propane furnace back up. There is a steel entry door with side lights plus a 10x10 overhead door for easy stocking of larger retail items. There is a walk thru to a kitchenette (refrigerator does not stay) and half bath. Follow thru to the office used for the machine shop. Machine shop has two sections, one with a 15 ft ceiling, the other with 12 ft. There are double overhead doors that are 10x12 and then a larger 14x14 at the front of the building. There is also 3 phase electric. There is an additional 720 sq ft building that has been used for storage. The property covers a good portion of this block, excepting the lots with the two houses fronting Joy Street. Lots of potential sitting on M-76 in the town of Alger with great visibility.
