Description

101 S. Main Street is a fully-restored historic Opera House in the heart of Downtown Winchester. Now functioning in a multiple use capacity, including gallery space, 7-years-running successful restaurant space, wedding event and reception space, and office space. No detail was overlooked in this extensive renovation, now inclusive of multiple commercial kitchens, interior elevator, gracious entertainment spaces, and an abundance of old-world charm through hardwood floors, large windows, exposed brick, and functioning fireplaces. In fact, the Opera House renovations earned the Clyde Carpenter Adaptive Reuse Award from the Bluegrass Trust Historic Preservation Commission. This offering is extremely flexible in that a new owner can step in and operate the same uses already in place, including Lease Back potential from Loma’s which is owner occupied, or use the flexible layouts for its own preferences. It is also in the Opportunity Zone, and Downtown Winchester KY offers numerous grants for both renovations and business development should a buyer wish to participate.

*Business purchase is not included in the real estate offering.
