Description
Looking for a property on State St in downtown Bristol?! Don't miss this one! Located in the heart of Bristol's vibrant downtown district, this iconic two-story brick building offers a rare opportunity to own a historic income-producing property on State Street. Constructed circa 1890 and known for nearly a century as Ryland Jewelry, the building blends timeless character with investment potential in one of the most walkable areas of downtown. Offering the potential for two units, the main level features a commercial storefront anchored by a long-standing tenant- providing immediate passive income. The upper level is a blank canvas, stripped to exposed brick walls and ready for a custom build-out. Whether you're envisioning a residential loft, office space, expanded commercial use, or downtown storage, the possibilities are wide open. Showcasing original architectural details including soaring 15' ceilings, a pressed metal ceiling on the first floor, exposed brick, and wood floors and original staircase upstairs, this building is full of historic charm. The storefront was updated around 1980, and the upper facade retains mid-century paneling that could be removed to restore its original windows and elevation. Zoned for commercial use and eligible for Historic Tax Credits and potential grant funding, this property is ideal for investors, business owners, or creatives looking to establish a unique footprint in the heart of downtown. Short-term rentals are also permitted, making it a prime candidate for revenue generation during major events such as Rhythm & Roots, Bristol Motor Speedway races, and happenings at the new Hard Rock Casino. Whether you're an investor looking for a passive income, a business owner looking for an enviable location, or a traveler looking for a place to call home while visiting the area- you will not want to miss this one! Offered at $350k, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Bristol's history with excellent visibility, high foo
