Historic Mixed-Use Property with Restaurant Space & Renovated Apartment
Opportunity awaits with this unique mixed-use property located directly in the heart of Wardsboro Village, offering an exceptional combination of commercial potential and comfortable residential living. Once home to a beloved local café, this character-rich building is perfectly positioned for an entrepreneur, owner-operator, or investor ready to bring new energy to a vibrant village setting.
The street-level commercial space is a standout feature, already equipped with brand-new commercial kitchen equipment, allowing a new restaurant, café, or food-focused business to launch with ease. With excellent visibility and an in-town location, the space benefits from local foot traffic as well as seasonal visitors drawn to the area’s renowned outdoor attractions.
Upstairs, the second-floor apartment offers a completely separate private entrance, ensuring privacy and flexibility. This three-bedroom, one-bath residence has been thoughtfully renovated, featuring a fully updated kitchen with all-new appliances, new cabinetry, and a large farmhouse sink that blends modern convenience with classic charm. The living room opens onto a private porch, where sweeping views of Wardsboro Village and Stacey Mountain create a peaceful backdrop for everyday living.
The apartment provides comfortable year-round housing or strong rental income potential, making this an ideal setup for those who wish to live on-site while operating a business below—or for investors seeking dual-income opportunities. The property is being offered furnished, adding even more value and ease for the next owner.
Location is a major advantage. The property is just 10 minutes from Mt. Snow, 20 minutes to Stratton, and 30 minutes to Bromley and Magic Mountain, placing it squarely in the path of Vermont’s four-season recreation market. Skiers, hikers, and tourists alike pass through Wardsboro, making this a compelling opportunity for hospitality, dining, or retail use.
With its historic charm, thoughtful modern upgrades, and flexible mixed-use layout, this property offers endless possibilities for the right buyer—whether launching a new business, creating rental income, or both.
