Just ten minutes from the quiet hills of Clay and 45 minutes from the pulse of Charleston sits a building that time forgot—but one that’s ready for a comeback in the right hands. Once a small-town storefront with an apartment above, this 1950s block-construction building now stands weathered and worn, holding tight to stories of what it used to be. The main floor—once a shop, maybe a garage—is wide open, with high visibility from State Route 4, where 2,000 vehicles pass by each day. The upstairs apartment has two bedrooms, a bath, and a generous living area, all of it waiting to be restored or reimagined. Let’s be honest: this place is a wreck. The foundation has cracks. The structure needs serious work from the ground up—floors, windows, walls, plumbing, electric. Everything. It is uninhabitable in its current state and will demand both grit and craftsmanship. But for the right person—someone with tools, vision, and determination—this is more than a wreck. It’s a blank canvas with character. The good news? City water, gas, and electric are already in place. And the property boasts more than 200 feet of frontage on a well-traveled state route, offering commercial potential, rental income, or simply a quiet home project with big upside. You could renovate. You could rebuild. Or you could start fresh and clear the lot entirely. Whatever the path, the entry cost is low—and the possibilities are wide open. For the carpenter, the dreamer, the do-it-yourselfer—this is your kind of project.
