Property features

2 Bedrooms
1 Bathroom
A unique property in the heart of Varennes, combining a signature location, exceptional commercial versatility and strong long-term upside. Directly on the Saint-Lawrence River, facing the future municipal beach and steps from Parc de la Commune, this building offers an unmatched setting to grow a business or strengthen an investment portfolio.

Owner-operated commercial space
The ground-floor business is run by the owner, allowing a smooth and flexible transition to the buyer's preferred use--without taking over a lease. You may install your own business, reposition the layout or lease the space according to your strategy.
The business (modernized butcher shop) may be purchased separately, if desired.

Extremely rare flexibility of uses
With acquired rights in place, more than fifty replacement uses are permitted--an immense advantage in today's market. This opens the door to a wide range of possibilities, including:
-- Professional services (notary, architect, accountant, lawyer, engineering, brokerage, marketing agency, tech services);
-- Specialty retail (coffee shop, fine foods, bakery, natural products, art gallery, sports boutique, artisan goods, florist);
-- Health & wellness (medical clinic without lodging, massage therapy, aesthetics, hair salon, holistic care);
-- Creative or artistic studios, administrative offices, consulting space;
-- Technical services (specialized contractors, building mechanics, various professional trades).

This level of versatility is nearly impossible to find elsewhere in the area.

A strong foundation for appreciation
With the city's riverfront revitalization, upcoming municipal developments and the scarcity of semi-commercial waterfront properties, this address stands as a strategic, long-term investment. The upper level features a bright 4½ residential unit with a private terrace and panoramic river views--highly attractive for both owner-occupants and investors.

A complete asset for vision-driven buyers
Whether you wish to operate your business in an inspiring setting, create a destination space, or add a distinctive asset to your portfolio, this property offers the ideal blend of profitability, charm and lasting value.
