39 MARKET ST, Onancock, VA 23417

This historic mixed-use building was built in 1925 and offers approximately 5,595 square feet on a 0.10-acre lot. The first floor has been converted into two separate retail spaces. One unit is currently used as an antique shop, and the other operates as a gallery, with a half bath and two mini-split systems serving that area. Upstairs, the building can be lived in as an apartment with four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a living area, kitchen, and studio, served by central heat and air. A freight elevator is also included and stated to work for moving heavier items to the second story. Updates noted include a new roof, new furnace and HVAC upstairs, and a new hot water heater, along with remodeled and updated finishes including bathroom upgrades in 2022. The stairs to the second floor were reinforced in 2023, and several interior improvements were made to the retail units and display windows between 2022 and 2023. Upstairs and downstairs have separate electric meters.

The property is located in the heart of Onancock’s historic district at 39 Market St in Onancock, Virginia.

For tenants, buyers, or owner-operators, the layout supports a live-and-work arrangement with retail on the ground floor and a multi-bedroom apartment above. Because the two first-floor spaces can be opened by removing the dividing wall, the building also offers flexibility for users who may want a single larger retail footprint.
