Additional space offers potential for repurposing, and an elevator conveniently services all three floors.

Main Street, serves as retail space and includes an office area with a small kitchen and an ADA-compliant restroom. The space is enriched with reclaimed wood flooring and features custom-crafted trim, counters, and a stairwell made from repurposed church pews. The top floor includes over 2,300 square feet of open space offering immense potential for new uses. The one-bedroom apartment, accessible by a rear stairwell, boasts premium cabinetry, modern fixtures, a spacious living area, and a bonus office/storage space. The apartment features tile flooring, washer/dryer hookups, two closets, and a rear porch that overlooks the Downtown Farmer’s Market and High Bridge Trail, plenty of natural light. All mechanical systems are fully functional and energy-efficient. The multi-zone HVAC units on the roof were recently replaced, ensuring reliable and cost-effective operation for years to come. This is a rare opportunity to own a prominent property in downtown Farmville, perfect for continued retail use, new ventures, or enjoying the luxurious apartment on the upper floor.
