    Overview

    This late-1800s, two-story commercial building has been fully renovated and updated for modern operation while preserving historic character. Improvements reported include new HVAC throughout, new electric and lighting, new plumbing, a new roof, and new flooring on both levels, including hardwood upstairs. An elevator lift was installed for accessibility, and the building includes ADA-compliant restrooms. The layout is designed for flexibility, with two separate entrances that can support a dual-business concept, mixed-use setup, or multiple tenants.

    The property is positioned directly on the square in downtown Somerset, Kentucky, on Public Square East at the Mt. Vernon Street side. The offering is described as providing strong visibility with hundreds of cars passing by daily. The downtown setting also ties the building to tourism and annual city festivals.

    Tenant and operator fit is supported by the building’s versatility. In addition to the two-entrance configuration, the second level includes a full kitchenette with a 3-compartment sink and a grease trap, which can support food service, events, or other related uses that require that kind of infrastructure. With the extensive renovation scope and accessibility upgrades already in place, the space is presented as ready for an owner-user or a multi-tenant plan.
