Own a piece of history with the convenience and comfort of modern construction! This is a rare opportunity to live and work in a historic building with a ton of Chinese history. The Kim Wing building was taken down to the studs'' and completely renovated in 2017 (fully permitted), including electrical (110 & 220), plumbing, HVAC, sewer lateral, water lines, water heater, all doors, all double-pane windows, flooring, interior sheetrock, paint, a back deck, and a complete seismic retrofit. It is next-to-new with brick walls more than 100-years-old. The Kim Wing Building at 228 1st Street is one of the most historic buildings in Marysville's Chinatown. Originally built one block from the gold rush era waterfront in 1857, this building was the residence and storefront of Kim Wing, a civic leader, entrepreneur, and head of a growing family in Marysville's Chinese Community. As Kim Wing's business grew, the building did too, with a second story and the current Victorian facade, which features an ornamented parapet with dentiled cornice and frieze of patterned bricks, added in 1913. The metal balcony has been one of the best viewing locations for Marysville's Bok Kai Parade and Bomb Day festivities for more than 100 years. For the last eight years, the building has been a production center for a State-licensed, FDA-compliant craft food business. The downstairs housed a small showroom with a local retail presence doubling as an internet picking area, and in back were warehousing, milling & processing rooms, a ware-washing area, and an ADA compliant bathroom. The upstairs, designed as a 1200-sf studio living area, housed an executive office and workstations, a laundry area, full bathroom, and demonstration kitchen. Perfect for your live/work dream, or rent out the downstairs and live upstairs, or rent out both floors. The Kim Wing Building is walkable to restaurants, shops, museums, and City Parks, with easy commute to CA-70, CA-65, and CA-20.
