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.
