Essex village investment pied-a-terre! The historic 1820 "Obadia Spencer's General Store" offers a unique combination of residential and income-producing commercial use. The elegant and sophisticated one-bedroom owner's apartment prominently overlooks the intersection of North Main St. and New City St. and was meticulously remodeled by a local craftsman incorporating features reminiscent of French village living. The open floor plan is enhanced by the full-length enclosed porch that allows natural light to flood the living space. The well-designed galley kitchen is the heart and soul of the apartment and features a Viking stove/oven, a Pico Fisher dishwasher and under-counter Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer. Classic subway tile line the bathroom walls. The bath includes a space-saving and efficient ASKO stackable washer/dryer. A comfortably-sized bedroom is hidden behind double pocket doors. There is a separate one-bedroom rental apartment on the upper floor that can provide income or accommodate family or guests. The original general store is now a medical office and can be renovated to significantly increase the residential space. The addition to the original building now serves as small office rental units and could be included in any renovation to transform the entire building into an impressive single family residence. Ideally located close to Essex Village center, marinas, tennis courts, playground and library. Become the next steward of this special property!
