130 Canal ST Wawarsing, NY 12428

Located at the core of the historic Village of Ellenville on the site of the famed Wayside Inn, this multi-use property encompasses three commercial units situated on 1.5 acres of prime commercial real estate with frontage on four streets and plentiful off-street parking. This unique building and parcel is one of the three buildings located on the storied Liberty Square at the heart of the village. The other two buildings that make up the square are the Hunt Memorial Building, built in 1917 in the neoclassical style, and the classic Dutch style stone post office. Built in 1939, the post office was a WPA project personally overseen by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Currently the property has a successful restaurant known as The Publik House, which fronts on Canal Street in the center of what has come to be known as restaurant row. There are at least 8 other restaurants within a stone's throw of the property and the popular Shadowland Stages Theater is less than a block away. Additionally there is a municipal parking lot adjacent to the property, a portion of which is part of the property, which is rented by the municipality. There are two other units available for rent in the building that front on the picturesque Liberty Square. Unit #9, which was formerly a cupcake bakery and café, is approximately 900 square feet and has a partially equipped kitchen. Unit #7 is approximately 2000 square feet with two separate entrances and offers soaring clear span beamed ceilings, a large atrium glass storefront, stage and a bar. This space would make a fantastic gym, restaurant, club or theater. Perhaps the real value is the land itself. Rarely can you find a 1.5 acre parcel, commercially zoned with municipal water and sewer in the heart of an historic village, which is walking distance to essential services and has frontage on 4 municipal streets. It's ideal for mixed-use development, which could include a boutique hotel, restaurant, retail and housing.
