A PIECE OF WAYNESBORO HISTORY with endless possibilities ready for its next chapter. ??
Our former Fire Department No. 1 building at 143 N. Wayne Avenue in downtown Waynesboro is officially for sale. Built in 1925, the building still carries one of its most remarkable original features—the historic FIRE DEP’T NO. 1 glass above the storefront.
Originally serving as a fire department and later home to various businesses, this unique property combines historic character with extensive modern updates. Since taking ownership, the property has been extensively renovated, including major updates. Renovated down to the studs, the building features a new roof, all-new electrical and plumbing, tankless water heaters, HVAC systems, and professionally mitigated asbestos while preserving the character that makes the building so unique.
Two floors of office space feature separate entrances, offering flexibility for multiple businesses, rental income, or an owner-occupied space with additional tenants, zoning could allow for 2nd floor residence or apartments and first floor storefront possibilities!! The first floor is handicap accessible, and each level includes a large restroom, soundproof phone rooms, and convenient utility sink. Whether you're seeking an investment, professional office space, or a distinctive property filled with history and character, this Waynesboro landmark offers incredible potential for its next chapter!
At approximately 2,760 square feet over two floors, the property offers an unusual amount of flexibility for its next owner: professional offices, storefront space, multiple businesses, rental income, or potentially a mixed commercial/residential configuration, subject to zoning and approvals. Restaurant. Creative studio. Headquarters. Retail concept. Professional office. Adaptive reuse. Someone is going to have a lot of fun deciding what comes next.
What I love most about this building is that its next use doesn’t have to look anything like its last one.
Offered at $720,000 in downtown Waynesboro, Virginia.
