An opportunity to own a piece of history! Built in 1879 for the YMCA, this red-brick corner building has been a community focal point throughout its life. Features 4 stories, all with large windows and 10? ? 13? ceilings throughout. The street level double commercial retail space has 2 entrances onto Water Street, the main commercial street in Pictou. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th levels are accessed from George St; an impressive staircase with original woodwork leads to generous landings. 2nd floor currently offers potential for multiple offices; the original fireplace hints at its past and what could be. 3rd level is a stunning open concept suite with beautiful original ceilings and posts, exposed brick and expansive views of the Harbour. The incredible light explains its current use as an artist?s studio. 4th floor offers an open concept loft space. Building has many recent upgrades including a heating system, commercial space and more. Pictou is undergoing investment and development; the deCoste Performing Arts Centre, the rebuild of Market Wharf/the marina into a premier maritime hub, and more means that 30 Water St. offers massive potential for the right person: gallery, store, café, restaurant, office, Airbnb, rental apartments etc. This flagship building stands tall and strong with a legacy that will ferry it into Pictou?s next era.
