The penthouse includes three bedrooms, two fireplaces, Douglas fir beams, and vaulted ceilings, with city and mountain views noted in the listing. On-site amenities include ADA-compliant restrooms, as well as a carport and parking.

The property also includes a restaurant space described as supporting 30-plus seats and featuring a patio. In addition, there are five retail and office spaces, and the listing also references a one-bedroom short-term rental unit. The building is situated in Solvang, conveniently located across from the Solvang Festival Theater.

For buyers or operators seeking a mixed-use configuration, the combination of on-site dining, multiple commercial spaces, and residential-style accommodations can support an owner-occupied strategy while maintaining separate uses. The presence of ADA-compliant restrooms and on-site parking may simplify day-to-day operations for tenants and guests, including those visiting the restaurant and the short-term rental unit. Conversion opportunities are suggested for the retail and office spaces into vacation rental units, subject to applicable approvals.
