Description

Own a remarkable piece of Guysborough's history. Originally built by John Jost in 1838, this well-established landmark has served many roles over the years. Operated by the Morrison family for generations, later home to the Guysborough Fire Department, and purchased by Mulgrave Road Theatre in 1984 as its headquarters, this unique property is ready for its next chapter. Spanning three levels, the building offers a flexible layout with numerous possibilities. The main floor features office and storage space along with a convenient half bath. The second level showcases beautiful wood floors, soaring ceilings, and exposed beams, creating a warm and inviting open-concept area. This level also includes a small kitchen, full bath with shower, and a large storage closet. A third-floor loft room with balcony overlooks the impressive open space below, adding character and charm. Additional features include a durable steel roof, concrete foundation floor, two efficient heat pumps, and several newer windows. Situated in a highly visible location in the centre of Guysborough, the property is currently zoned commercial and lends itself to a variety of uses, including office space, retail, or a mixed-use concept with living quarters upstairs. With municipal approval, it could also be rezoned for residential use and transformed into a distinctive home. Rich in history and filled with potential, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Guysborough's most recognizable buildings.
