Welcome to 701 Center Ave, a beautifully restored Second Empire home built in 1876 by James and Margaret Shearer. This historic gem features 16 units—5 one-bedrooms, 1 two-bedroom, and 10 studios—blending timeless elegance with modern upgrades. Inside, you'll find preserved architectural details including a grand staircase, ornate plasterwork, and fireplaces, along with recent improvements such as a new roof, refinished windows, new gutters, off-street parking, on-site laundry, and efficient boiler heat (with gas, water, and sewer covered by the owner). Currently, 9 units are operating as Airbnbs with high upside, while the remaining units are leased to long-term tenants, offering steady income and room for future growth. Located just steps from downtown Bay City, the property offers walkable access to dining, shopping, and entertainment. This is a rare opportunity to own a historically significant property with strong potential in a prime location.
