Overview

117 W Union Street in Morganton, NC is a two-story brick commercial building within the Downtown Historic District. The property presents a classic Italianate-style facade, with three two-over-two upper-level windows topped by connected segmental arches, along with a distinctive cornice and recessed panel above arcaded corbelling. The ground floor is leased commercially on a year-to-year basis. The upper level includes 17 offices and 4 bathrooms, which are not currently leased.

The building fronts West Union Street and is positioned in the heart of downtown, steps from shops, restaurants, offices, the historic courthouse square, and community events. The property is described as having commercial visibility consistent with its street frontage.

This configuration can support a variety of operating models. The ground-floor tenant situation indicates existing commercial use, while the upstairs office layout may accommodate professional services or office-based operations. The property remarks also note the possibility of other uses such as retail, restaurant, gallery, or mixed-use combinations (retail with upstairs apartment/loft), with all uses to be confirmed with the City of Morganton prior to occupancy.
