318 North StreetBennington, VT 05201Price: $295,000

A former florist shop for 2 decades, this mixed-use property is now a blank slate ready for your vision. Zoning allows for retail, food/drink/entertainment, gallery or studio, personal or professional services, to multi-family or single-family residential. First floor and basement previously served as retail space, but with the walk-in cooler now removed, the main level feels significantly larger, brighter, and more versatile. Fresh paint, flooring, LED lighting, and a convenient half bath make it easy to imagine anything from a charming shop to a caf, office suite, or creative workspace. The basement offers abundant storage with built-in shelving. Second floor features a beautifully renovated 1-bed, 1-bath apartment completed by prior owner about 10 years ago. Use it as an owner’s residence, rental income, or convert for more commercial space. A walk-up attic provides bonus storage or potential expansion. Practical features include separate entrances, separate electric meters, shared boiler and oil tank (both new in 2020), vinyl siding and windows, architectural shingle roof, town water/sewer, and high-speed internet. Parking areas for both units add convenience. Location is unbeatable – North Street is one of Bennington’s most traveled routes, offering excellent visibility and signage. Enjoy gorgeous mountain views and great neighbors like the Blue Benn Diner, Wassick’s Tire, and the Vermont Veterans Home. Bring your ideas this place is ready for you!
