Excellent commercial opportunity in the heart of downtown Melville! Located at 148 Third Avenue East, this 2,640 sq. ft. commercial building offers outstanding visibility in a high-traffic location adjacent to a pharmacy and professional office buildings. Zoned Commercial, the property features approximately 1,400 sq. ft. of retail space at the front with forced-air natural gas heat, making it ideal for a showroom, office, or retail operation. The rear of the building offers approximately 1,200 sq. ft. of warehouse space with a separate entrance, overhead bay door, and overhead unit heater. The warehouse can be leased independently, providing an excellent opportunity for additional rental income. The front exterior has been recently upgraded with attractive metal cladding, giving the property a modern, professional appearance and excellent curb appeal. Whether you're looking to relocate your business, establish a new venture, or invest in a commercial property with income potential, this versatile building is well worth a look. The owner will also consider a lease option for the entire building, offering added flexibility for qualified purchasers. (id:65958)
10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).

Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
