405 W Interlake Boulevard delivers an excellent investment and future development opportunity in the heart of Lake Placid, Florida.
Spanning approximately 3,100 square feet, the existing office building features robust concrete block (CBS) construction with a standing-seam metal roof and hurricane shutters. The wraparound porch has aluminum railings, recessed can lights, and is set up for two units, but is currently being used as one. There are two main entrances, each with double metal doors, leading into beautiful foyers with tray ceilings and recessed lighting. One side is set up for retail, with a large counter, cabinets, a slat board, and a large display area, while the other is a more professional setup, with a reception desk and waiting area. Ceilings are 10 feet tall, and the solid-wood doors stand 8 feet tall. Four ADA-compliant accessible bathrooms (two on each side) and two rear entrances (also metal doors) with keyless entry for employees make access effortless.
Interior spaces include conference rooms, offices, break rooms, media closets, and more, including a large attic storage area with pull-down stairs on each side. There are three electric meters, one for each side and a third for the outdoor lighting and irrigation. 405 W Interlake Boulevard has a 15-kilowatt Generac generator with a 500-gallon propane tank wired for automatic switching, three air conditioning units, a water meter, city water, septic, security system with hard-wired cameras, and much more.
