About 685 Route 32
Rare Live-Work Opportunity - Available as Real Estate Only or Complete Turnkey Business. A truly unique opportunity to own one of Eastern Connecticut's premier mixed-use properties. Whether you're looking for a highly visible commercial property with on-site living or an established, profitable business, this property offers exceptional flexibility. The commercial portion is currently home to a long-established industrial gas distribution business serving welding, industrial, medical, and beverage gas customers throughout the region. The facility is well-equipped with loading docks, three oversized bay doors, ample warehouse space, generous parking, and outstanding visibility along a high-traffic corridor. The attached residential component features a spacious, open floor plan, ranch-style home with convenient one-level living and a partially finished basement that was previously licensed and operated as a daycare, providing additional flexibility for office space, home business, recreation, or extended family living. A detached barn/garage with loft offers even more storage, workshop, or equipment space.
