723 Main Street

This Historic Mercantile building located in the heart of Paris, KY is ready for your imagination and dreams, to embark on its next chapter. Recently updated with new electric, plumbing and zoned HVAC systems, its open floor plan offers a blank canvas for the new owner. The south - facing, modern era glass storefront and entrance, plus large original double hung style, second floor windows allow abundant natural light to flood the interior. And though covered now, the original, large, roof skylight location is mirrored by an 8' x 10' void on the second floor, permitting light and airflow to the ground floor. This void in the second floor prompts the thought of just how attractive the additional natural light could be if the skylight were to be reconstructed. Original wood floors and partially exposed brick walls exude character. While many Main Street neighbors are not as fortunate, this location's rear access and freight elevator add value and convenience for the occupant. And, while limited, there is enough space for parking at least one car at the rear entrance, and this opens the potential for converting the voluminous second floor to a residential use. While termed 'crawlspace', the below grade cellar offers walkable storage space and access below the entire first floor. With this location being included within the Paris Main Street listed National Register Historic District, the new owner has the potential for pursuing Federal and State Historic Preservation Tax Credits.
