Ardsley Retail for Lease - West I-287 Corridor

Christie’s International Real Estate – Commercial Division is pleased to present a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire a fully renovated, turnkey restaurant business located at 473 Ashford Avenue in the heart of Ardsley, New York. Opportunities like this—where a fully built, operational restaurant can be acquired without the time, cost, and uncertainty of a full build-out—are increasingly scarce in Westchester County, particularly in affluent, supply-constrained communities such as Ardsley. Positioned along a highly trafficked retail corridor, this ±980 square foot space benefits from excellent street visibility, consistent foot traffic, and convenient parking, making it ideally suited for dine-in, takeout, and delivery-based operations. The current setup operates as a successful pizzeria; however, the infrastructure and layout lend themselves seamlessly to a wide range of concepts including Italian trattoria, fast-casual dining, Mediterranean, sushi, café, dessert concept, or health-focused brands. Ardsley is a highly desirable Rivertowns community known for its strong household incomes, top-rated schools, and tight-knit, family-oriented demographic. Local demand is driven not only by residents but also by nearby schools, youth sports programs, and community events, all of which contribute to steady foot traffic and consistent catering opportunities. The surrounding Westchester market continues to demonstrate strong demand for high-quality dining options, with limited turnover in retail spaces—making this an especially rare chance to enter or expand within this market. The space itself has been fully upgraded and is delivered in excellent condition, featuring a code-compliant commercial kitchen with upgraded gas and electric systems (Con Edison certified), Ansul hood system, pizza ovens, fryer, refrigeration, and a large walk-in cooler. The inviting interior layout accommodates 20+ seats and includes a modern food display area complemented by a unique gelato station, enhancing both dine-in appeal and incremental revenue streams. From an operational standpoint, pizza and fast-casual dining concepts continue to be among the most resilient and profitable in the restaurant industry, offering strong margins, scalable delivery models, and broad consumer appeal. Combined with the flexibility to adapt the space to various cuisines, this opportunity presents a unique blend of stability, versatility, and upside potential. Whether you are an experienced restaurateur seeking a plug-and-play location, a regional operator expanding your footprint, or an investor looking for a proven, income-generating concept with growth potential, 473 Ashford Avenue represents a standout opportunity in one of Westchester’s most desirable submarkets.

Offered at $599,000, this prime turn-key restaurant opportunity includes the real property and represents an exceptional owner-user or investment acquisition in the heart of Westtown, New York. The 2,610 SF stand-alone retail building (approximately $229.50 per square foot) sits on a 0.25-acre parcel with 222 feet of frontage along Route 284, providing outstanding visibility and consistent vehicular traffic. Home to Westtown Fare Restaurant & Bar, a well-established local dining destination, the property features a spacious dining room, full-service bar area, fully equipped commercial kitchen, storage space, air conditioning, and eight on-site parking spaces.

Positioned within the broader growth trajectory of Orange County, the property benefits from continued population migration into the Hudson Valley, driven by buyers relocating from New York City and Northern New Jersey in search of affordability, space, and lifestyle amenities. Surrounding communities such as Warwick and the greater Minisink area have experienced steady residential development and reinvestment, fueling increased demand for quality dining and experiential retail.
