    Overview

    A nearly 6,400-square-foot landmark property designed for events and gatherings, featuring an open interior with two large main event rooms and a stage area. The space includes a commercial-grade kitchen and flexible setup described to accommodate 100+ guests, supporting ceremonies, receptions, catering, and entertainment. Wheelchair accessible, the layout also includes ample parking. A spacious two-bedroom apartment is located on the second floor, adding a separate living component within the building.

    Located at 840 Academy Avenue in Waynesboro, Georgia (Burke County), the property is described as being in the heart of historic Waynesboro and approximately 30 minutes from Augusta. The site sits on a 0.22-acre lot, and the property is currently listed with R-1 zoning.

    This configuration can appeal to event-focused operators seeking a turnkey venue setup with dedicated event rooms and full-service kitchen capabilities, as well as organizations that host recurring community functions. The presence of the second-floor two-bedroom apartment may also interest buyers who want on-site living space. The remarks further note the interior may be easily converted for other uses, so it can be worth reviewing for alternative commercial plans consistent with the existing zoning.
