OPEN HOUSE 8/30 from 10am-12pm. Spectacular and unexpected! Originally built in 1920 on the corner of Main & Benmont, moved here in 1987. Stunning details that you don't see in modern buildings today: tin ceilings, oversized windows and thick doors, natural woodwork, and dramatic arches framing the center hall. It's truly breathtaking in person... photos don't do it justice. You'll expect an old stone foundation with dirt floor, but since it was moved downtown in the 80s this beauty was set on a new poured concrete foundation, delivering the best of both worlds: character + good bones. Currently leased to an insurance company, the space offers a turn-key opportunity for a new or existing business to step inside and get right to work. Zoning allows for retail, personal or professional services, lodging, food/drink/entertainment, educational, and place of worship. All furnishings are included. Layout provides three private offices, break/file room, four open concept workspaces and a half bath. Or reimagine as mixed use such as a retail store or studio on the main level with individual offices (co-working) or gorgeous apartment upstairs (to rent or live in yourself). Located directly across from the splashpad and Thompson Stage, enjoy the sounds of laughter and music, or take a short walk to the multitude of awesome eateries downtown. Parking on street or in nearby municipal parking lot. This is an incredible value and opportunity!
