Peoples Company is pleased to be representing the sale and Online Auction of a commercial and warehouse building in the proud community of Templeton, Iowa.

The historic building was originally constructed in 1920, but was completely renovated between the years 2014 and 2016. Renovations and improvements include, but are not limited to, new windows built to the original specifications, pitched metal roofing to avoid water settling, and a complete overhaul of the flooring, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. The building area divides into storefront facing Main Street (3,000 sq. ft.), climate-controlled warehouse area (5,250 sq. ft.), and a designated shop / work space area (2,250 sq. ft.). The storefront includes a finished show room area with unique design features and a loft area. The warehouse / shop area is heated with three large, overhead doors and two restrooms with plumbing in place for a third. The HVAC system currently provides heat to the building and the air conditioning unit is plumbed for cooling, but would require the installation of a condenser to add AC to the building.
