Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This historic firehouse is being offered for the first time in decades and presents a blank-canvas setup for an owner-operator. The property is a live-work candidate, with space that can be adapted for a business use, residential use, or a combination of both, subject to applicable approvals. The building’s long-standing character is part of its appeal, and it’s well-positioned for someone looking to create something new within an existing landmark structure.

The location is in the village of Proctorsville on Main Street and is described as being next to the Proctorsville Green. The immediate area includes Singletons Store as a neighboring business, along with The Outer Limits Brewery and Murdoch's On The Green. This surrounding mix can support a storefront, service, or community-oriented concept within walking-distance foot traffic tied to the Green.

For buyers, the practical value is the flexibility to configure the property to fit a specific plan—whether that means opening a business and incorporating living quarters, or converting the structure into a primarily commercial operation. If you’re evaluating a mixed-use opportunity with historic character and an adaptable interior, this firehouse layout is a straightforward starting point for your design and permitting strategy.
