It’s time for another installment of What’s For Sale? — a regular glimpse at the local real estate market.
A highlight this week: the former Zion Lutheran Church (and later Calvary Academy) property at 2200 9th Ave. (9th and Madison). The building, listed at $150,000, is back on the market after an attempt by a local man to use the property as a commercial kitchen, breakfast/fish fry restaurant and indoor farmers’ market fell through earlier this month.
The plan has been considered at a couple Plan Commission meetings and approved by the City Council before it fell apart.
Check out property details here. And here are some other properties listed through Metro MLS at Nicholson Realty’s website, a sampling of single-family, multifamily and commercial property:

It’s all about location-location-location.
If I had the extra cash, I spotted a sweet fixer-upper on 16th & Michigan (dead-end cul de sac) that is adjacent to the Oak Leaf Bike Trail (why not have a gorgeous big back yard without the maintenance or taxes). Flora and fauna is abundant on this property. Fabulous place for an empty nester, or just starting out.
