A Timeless Treasure in the Heart of Benicia with development potential. From its vintage architectural details to its well-thought buildout, this one-of-a-kind structure reflects the rich heritage of Benicia — one of California’s most beloved historic towns. Zoned Community Commercial (CC), this unique property offers a wide range of uses, including retail, professional office, medical, dental, chiropractic services, boutique or personal services, mixed-use development, day care, restaurant, café, wine tasting or potential work-live use. In addition to the main building, there are 2, legally permitted auxillary structures. Property is NOT part of the historic district, nor its building requirements.
The layout graciously provides a front lobby area, 3 private offices, a kitchen with washer/dryer hookups, a large common space for a conference area or media space and 1.5 bathrooms with easy adjustments to make one an ADA accessible bathroom.
Built with enduring craftsmanship and adorned with classic period features — such as original woodwork, tall windows, and approximately 865sq ft of wrap-around covered porch/deck, the property exudes a sense of warmth and authenticity. Whether reimagined as a boutique retail space, an artist's studio, professional office, or a neighborhood café, the building offers a uniquely inspiring setting that blends old-world character with modern functionality.
Perfectly positioned on a generous lot of 9,374sq ft, with room to expand or develop further, this charming property offers more than just aesthetics — it presents a chance to own a piece of Benicia's architectural legacy while unlocking the possibilities of Community Commercial zoning. An owner-user opportunity would allow for additional tax deduction you could not have with leased property.
