Built in the early 1900s, this beautifully preserved property is a rare find, ready to be transformed into your dream business. Positioned on a .34-acre corner lot with high visibility along W Main Street/SR 44 (40,000 AADT), it offers unparalleled access and downtown prominence. The 1,600 SF main building features high ceilings, a grand room, a kitchen, two restrooms, and original hardwood floors, while a 350 SF converted garage serves as a private office or potential rental space. A true downtown rarity, the property includes 17+ on-site parking spaces with Handicap, ensuring seamless access for customers and clients.
