Description

Large price reduction, BRING OFFER! This quaint two-story historical brick and limestone building on Girard square was built in the 1860's, originally serving as a silver-plating business and then in 1919 purchased by People's Bank. After the bank closing in 1931, a locally-owned butcher shop purchased the building and utilized the safe as a meat locker. That safe now serves as a shelter / walk-in closet in the main floor master suite. Jones family bought the building in 1959 and had the Girard Gazette office in the spaces until the family sold the business in 2017. The building has original sturdy construction that has withstood the test of time, with many modern updates along the way - including renovation of the second floor 2004, first floor 2017, and foundation reinforcement. The building has new plumbing, electrical and flooring. The second floor has tongue and groove 1/2” oak flooring, with tile in the bathrooms and kitchen. The open loft offers a space for plenty of creativity as well, additional sleeping space, or just a fun hang-out spot! The upstairs unit has two more bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with a chair lift on stairs. Exterior walls are composed of vinyl siding, 1” foam, 15” brick, and 2x6” interior wall filled with insulation, rubber roof installed in 2017, featuring Leaf Guards on gutters. What will the next chapter be for this beautiful building residential, commercial, or the newest must-visit destination spot on Route 66?
