Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Built in 1878 as the town’s original bank and post office, 422 Main Street is a restored historic mixed-use building with a live-work layout. The ground floor includes two expansive storefronts with soaring 11- and 12-foot ceilings, original storefront windows, poured concrete floors, partial wainscoting, and custom partitions crafted from salvaged antique windows. Two half baths serve the commercial areas, and a newly reconstructed front porch and entry reinstates the building’s historic presence on Main Street.

The upper levels provide additional flexible space with abundant natural light, including a loft-style studio wing with 10-foot ceilings and an adjoining restored two-bedroom residence. The residence features an English-inspired kitchen with beadboard walls and ceiling, antique built-ins, and a wavy-glass display cabinet, along with multiple windows framing views of the surrounding hills. The property also includes a private owner’s entrance, interior access between residential and commercial spaces, generous storage, four off-street parking spaces, and a backyard.

The rear first-floor apartment has an established rental history, and an adjoining flexible commercial space has previously operated as a cafe, antique shop, and professional office.
