This exceptional historic property offers a rare opportunity to own one of downtown Somerset's most charming and versatile landmark homes. Formerly operating as a successful day spa, the building is now vacant and ready for its next chapter. Whether you envision an elegant professional office, boutique business, upscale residence, investment property, or a combination of uses, this property provides the character, flexibility, and location to make it happen. Historic homes of this caliber seldom become available, especially in such a highly desirable downtown setting.

From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the beautifully landscaped grounds, timeless architecture, and undeniable curb appeal. Inside, you'll find an abundance of original craftsmanship featuring rich hardwood flooring, ornate wood trim, decorative fireplaces, soaring ceilings, and spacious rooms filled with natural light. The main level offers numerous offices or living spaces, a convenient kitchenette with cabinetry, an updated half bath, and a large handicap-accessible shower room that could easily serve a variety of commercial or residential needs.

The upper level continues the home's elegance with several additional rooms or bedrooms, generous storage areas, and a full bathroom complete with a custom tile shower. Every room showcases the warmth and character that only a historic home can provide while offering endless possibilities for today's buyer.

Adding even more value is a separate detached efficiency apartment featuring its own kitchen, bedroom, and full bathroom. With a few updates, it offers excellent potential for rental income, guest accommodations, or private office space. The property also includes a dedicated parking area with approximately 8-10 parking spaces—an exceptional convenience for a downtown location.

Whether you're looking to establish a prestigious law office, CPA firm, insurance agency, financial services office, real estate brokerage, title company, consulting firm, medical or wellness practice, counseling office, boutique salon or spa, event or bridal studio, nonprofit headquarters, or an executive business office, this exceptional property offers the professional image, flexibility, and location to elevate your business. It is equally well-suited as an elegant private residence, a mixed-use investment, or an income-producing property with multiple office suites and a detached apartment for additional rental revenue. Opportunities to own a beautifully preserved historic property offering timeless character, generous parking, remarkable versatility, and exceptional investment potential are incredibly rare—and it's even rarer to find all of these qualities together in the heart of vibrant downtown Somerset.
