Property Description

A rare workshop opportunity in the heart of Carleton Place, ideally suited to electricians, plumbers, HVAC and roofing contractors, cabinet makers, welders and fabricators, landscapers, small equipment repair operators, general contractors and other tradespeople - as well as owner- user investors - seeking a functional, self-contained work space with customer-facing exposure, outside of a traditional business park setting. Situated on a large 0.485-acre lot in a high-traffic urban corridor, this highly visible property offers exceptional direct street exposure, excellent accessibility for trucks, trailers and equipment, and ample on-site parking. The existing 2,108 sq. ft. building includes open shop space, office areas, dry storage, and additional second-level crawl space storage above the offices, with front and rear bay doors providing convenient drive- through capability for vehicles, materials and equipment. Continued workshop use is permitted under the current zoning. The office area is functional in its current configuration; however, a future owner may also have the option to reconfigure this space to create a second drive-in bay with the addition of a new front bay door, expanding usable shop area. The property is currently vacant and was most recently operated as a roofing contractor's shop. Numerous improvements have been completed under current ownership, and vacant possession allows immediate occupancy. Restoring the site's historic automotive mechanic use would require a legal non-conforming application to the Town of Carleton Place. As a secondary consideration, the property sits within the Mississippi Residential Sector zoning designation, which supports low-rise residential redevelopment potential over the longer term, subject to municipal approvals - an attractive intensification and land banking angle for a buyer who wants to operate now and hold for later in one of Eastern Ontario's fastest-growing communities.
