153 West Washington, Madison - historic office building for sale

asking $459,000

153 West Washington, Madison

The most recent use was orthodontic and general office, but with C-1 zoning this building would be suitable for many allowed uses, including restaurant and retail.  The building is brick with stucco accents, and sits on a corner lot midway between Main Street and Town Park, with two large display windows facing West Washington and three double windows facing First Street.  The building has access from both streets, and is currently divided into a 2400sf space facing West Washington (orthodontic office) and 1300sf space facing First Street (general office), with zoned HVAC and security systems, plus separate utility meters for each. Local zoning would allow for conversion to a live/work space.  The building is in excellent condition – the exterior brick was pointed and painted in 2008, and three new 13 SEER ac units were installed in 2010.  The asphalt roof was replaced in 2008, with gutters and metal flashing rebuilt. The exterior of the building is subject to Historic District Overlay regulations.

Businesses locating in downtown Madison enjoy a strong support system – with Madison Main Street, the Downtown Development Authority, and the Madison-Morgan Chamber of Commerce all working hard to promote the continued development of Downtown Madison, Georgia, as a strong economic engine for Morgan County, while preserving the historical integrity and small-town character of the city.

Madison’s famed Historic District is the largest designated district in Georgia after Savannah.  Founded in 1809, Madison, Georgia is steeped in history and tradition.  An early 19th century publication calls it “the most cultured and aristocratic town in the stage route from Charleston to New Orleans.”  Today Madison blends old and new, culture and simplicity.  The county has award winning schools, and a long standing commitment to cultural activities. Hospitality and agriculture are the largest industries in Morgan County, located midway between Atlanta and Augusta along I-20.

Yes. Margaret.  Many of our historic homes carry the name(s) of prior long term owners.  In this case, the prior owner's family had a connection to the Blue Horse stationary line (vintage writing tablets) - and there was even a reproduction of the famous logo on the side of the building (since painted over).
