130 W Bridge Street

Description

Known as the Historic "Fair Building," this 2-story brick beauty from 1908 is loaded with character and charm. Its located on Bridge Street in Hotchkiss right in the heart of the Downtown Business District. With south-facing front door and large display windows, the main level presents as one large open room. Refreshed and awaiting final improvements, this commercial space with its 14 high ceiling will inspire you with nearly 2,000 SF for retail, offices, showroom, gallery, or whatever! The expansive walls have been refinished and painted, and the original stamped tin ceiling has been cleaned- still needs some finish work to be complete, but extra tin and trim is included. The main level also features a natural gas heater, sink area and a small bath as well as access to the basement. The partial basement is unfinished, but is clean with very good, usable storage space. At the rear of the main floor is a separate exterior access to the Barney-Fair Park (the alley pocket park) and back parking lot, and access to the stairway to the upper level. The upper-level, which has historically been 2 apartments, has a separate exterior entrance and stairway. There is plenty of space to have 2 separate apartments with a cozy 1-bedroom apartment in the back (alley side) and a spacious 2-bedroom apartment up front overlooking Bridge Street. If an owners wants to have 2 residential units upstairs again, the Town will require fire suppression to meet current building codes. The rooms have been refreshed, including installation of all new windows, ceiling fans and lighting fixtures, and each featuring gorgeous views. There is a 3/4 bath in the back apartment, but no bathroom yet in the front apartment and no kitchens. A heating system also still needs to be chosen and installed for the upper level, but chimney connections exist in each apartment. The property is 2 separate parcels, the building parcel itself, and the open back parcel providing 4 parking spaces at the rear of the building. Additional necessary taps have been purchased and the property includes 1 "Full" water and sewer tap, and two 1/2 water and sewer taps, so it meets the Town requirements for a main level business and two apartments or separate units upstairs. Additional improvements to the property include replacement of the storefronts main two feature windows with new insulated glass, replacement of nearly all operable windows in the building with energy efficient Amsco windows, a new foam roof, storm sewer connection from the gutters and a privacy fence for the parking area. Come take a look at your chance to own a piece of history and join the commercial buzz that is taking hold in downtown Hotchkiss!
