Step into a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with modern versatility. Originally built in 1885, this charming historic home blends timeless character with numerous updates that enhance both comfort and functionality. Ideally situated on the town’s main thoroughfare, the property offers exceptional visibility and accessibility—perfect for a variety of commercial uses. Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully updated interior that retains its classic architectural details while incorporating contemporary improvements. The flexible layout lends itself seamlessly to professional office space, boutique retail, or a live/work setup. Generous rooms can be configured for private offices, meeting areas, or client-facing spaces. The property is currently zoned residential but is located in the Melrose Rural Cluster and therefore could be rezoned for a business use. "Rural Cluster" is a type of zoning that allows more flexibility than typical zoning- it would allow small-scale businesses - so long as it stays low-impact and fits the rural character of the area. Adding to its appeal, the property provides the unique option for an owner-occupant to live on-site, making it an ideal choice for entrepreneurs or small business owners seeking convenience and efficiency. Whether you’re looking to establish your business in a high-traffic location or invest in a distinctive property with dual-use potential, this historic gem delivers unmatched charm, visibility, and opportunity. Seller is open to owner financing.
