Description
Step into history and opportunity in the heart of Downtown Milton! This Victorian-era mixed-use property with Town Center zoning offers the perfect blend of character, versatility, and visibility for your next venture. Built in 1905 with approximately 2,200 square feet, this home showcases timeless details like intricate millwork, hardwood floors, stained-glass windows, and clawfoot tubs. Currently home to a comic shop and private residence, the property features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an office (the location of Milton's first switchboard operator), a spacious unfinished attic, front porch, and a peaceful, bright sunroom with skylights and exposed beams that overlooks the landscaped yard backing to Milton Memorial Park and the Broadkill River. Milton's Town-Center zoning allows you to operate your business on the main level while living upstairs, or convert to a stunning single-family residence or semi-detached residence. Light commercial business operations include, but are not limited to, retail, hair salon, coffee shop, restaurant, art gallery, museum, school, and many more. Positioned next to the Milton Library and just steps from Milton’s shops, restaurants, and community events, this property offers exceptional exposure and charm and is an opportunity for entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone dreaming of owning a piece of Milton’s history in the thriving town center. Conveniently located with ample parking directly across from the town parking lot and adjacent to Milton Memorial Park, plus two parking spots in the back of the home and two unassigned parking spots in front. Although the comic shop is an operating business, an appointment with a real estate agent is required to see the entire home.
