Step into the magnificent Water, Light & Power Building, which stands as the largest and most exceptional historic sandstone building up for sale in Hot Springs. With its prime location on N River Street, this building promises to attract a steady flow of retail traffic, making it an ideal investment opportunity. The property boasts an incredible 10,395 square feet, which includes a 1,358 square feet retail space that currently operates as a salon and spa, a stunning 2-bedroom loft apartment above the salon, and two enormous garages on either side. The north-side garage spans 3,186 square feet and features a 26x20 loading dock, while the south-side garage encompasses 3,780 square feet and includes a basement of approximately 713 square feet that's ideal for storage.
