Versatile Commercial Property with Excellent Potential! Formerly utilized by Macon Program for Progress and as a senior daycare facility, this spacious property offers a flexible layout with numerous possibilities. The main level features a commercial-grade kitchen equipped with a stainless steel three-compartment sink, commercial hood vent, stainless steel oven/range, commercial dishwasher, and ample food preparation space. The main level is divided into multiple classroom-sized rooms and private office spaces, along with a common entryway, reception area, and two restrooms. Outside, you'll find an approximately 90' x 45' fenced play area with an artificial surface, providing space for outdoor activities. The lower level offers a large open floor plan, two additional restrooms, and a convenient loading and unloading area with direct access to the lower level. With its existing layout and commercial kitchen, this property presents excellent potential for daycare facilities, adult care services, educational programs, community organizations, or other permitted uses. For investors looking at redevelopment opportunities, the building could also potentially be converted into a multi-unit residential complex with extensive renovations and necessary approvals. Located within the Town of Franklin limits and zoned R-2 (Residential District). Daycare use is understood to be permitted; however, buyers should verify all intended uses, zoning requirements, and necessary approvals directly with the Town of Franklin. Whether you're looking to establish a new operation or explore redevelopment possibilities, this property offers a unique opportunity with plenty of potential!
