1203 2nd St Marquette, MI 49855

One of a kind opportunity to own one of Marquette's more unique and historical properties. Though the lower level of this property is the currently operating sauna house, the upper level is a spacious, comfortable two bedroom apartment. Second St. Sauna provides the fortunate new owner the possibility to live where you work. Established in 1926, the Second St. Sauna is the longest continuously operating, and perhaps now the only sauna house in the UP. Add to this the fabulously convenient location to the Third St. business corridor, close proximity to NMU campus, the dome, Lake Superior beaches and local restaurants and businesses, and you've got a recipe for success. This long-lived enterprise, run by it's current proprietor for the past 29 years, has been well maintained and operated. Many improvements have been made over the years which include new windows, roof, siding, new thermal exterior doors and new front steps. Additionally, there is a brand new Weil-McLain high efficiency boiler to keep that hot steam coming! There are four individual sauna rooms with private dressing rooms through which clients enter their own sauna room. Each sauna has a unique staircase leading to the "lauteet". Sauna areas have claw foot bath tubs, showers and some have recently installed tile flooring. For larger groups there is a "party" sauna room complete with a five person hot tub. The lower level also offers his and her restrooms and a large laundry area. This one of a kind establishment gives it's new owner the opportunity to run their business directly from their home. The main floor living space offers two bedrooms, large kitchen with breakfast nook, pantry and beautiful Douglas fir floors, an 11x7 three season room with great southern exposure, large dining room and living room with curly maple hardwood floors and original built-ins. On the entry level floor you'll find a large lobby and a peaceful massage room also with Douglas Fir flooring. This is an incredible opportunity for an enthusiastic, creative new owner to grow an already established and successful business in the heart of downtown Marquette! This structure, according to the owner, qualifies as a National Historic building.
