Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The iconic Edge Building is a historic, century-old brick structure that has been thoughtfully restored and reimagined as a live/work mixed-use property. The lower level features an open art studio and gallery space, previously used to host art shows and exhibitions. The upper level provides private residential living quarters with industrial and artistic design character.

Located in downtown Wilson, the building is within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, and downtown events, and it is steps from Whirligig Park and Warbirds Stadium. As a single property combining commercial creative space below and residential above, the Edge Building supports flexible usage consistent with its existing layout and proven creative use.

The configuration offers a straightforward division between the open studio/gallery environment and the private residential portion, making it a functional fit for an owner-user or investor seeking a combined live/work presence in a highly walkable downtown setting.
