This is a unique property, perfect for artists, artisans or other small business owners who want to be able to live/work in a rural setting. Built in 1919, the building was divided into a general store and dance hall with a 3 bedroom residence and comes with an acre and 1/2 of land. The building is 38' x 60', divided lengthwise. On the residential side there is a sitting room, living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, with the 3 bedrooms above on the second floor. On the other side of the building, with an additional entrance, the ground floor housed the original store. It has maple wood floors and the original shelving. There's another smaller room behind, which also has some of the original store shelving. That room, directly across from the kitchen, has a door leading out to a 12' x 30' deck that overlooks the pond. Two beautiful, tall, old apple trees stand next to the deck. Behind that space is a storage area that runs the whole width of the building, 19' x 38' Ceiling height - 9'. Upstairs from the store portion of the building is the former dance hall, now a 15-1/2' x 40' artist's studio, w/8 southern exposure windows and a skylight. This studio has a view overlooking the deck and the pond. Next to that space is the former hayloft, now another artist's studio, an L-shaped space, 19'x19-1/2' plus 9-1/2' x 15-1/2', with two skylights, and a very large window. Both studios have high ceilings.
