| A rare opportunity to own a stunning, one-of-a-kind historic commercial building in the heart of Old Town Rusk, Texas. Situated on the charming downtown square, this turn-of-the-century gem offers limitless possibilities. This property features two storefronts seamlessly connected into one interior space. The building boasts 2,640 square feet upstairs and 2,640 square feet downstairs, providing ample space for a variety of uses. Behind the building, there is an area before the alley that offers room for an addition, parking, or a large patio. Additionally, the property includes a lot across the alley, ideal for building a carport, storage facility, or additional parking. The space is highly flexible. It can remain entirely commercial or, with a special use permit, be converted into residential units upstairs. Each unit must be a minimum of 375 square feet, allowing for multiple living spaces if desired. A newly passed city ordinance in March 2025 removes the requirement for fire suppression between floors in buildings on the Rusk square, preserving the original hardwood floors upstairs and the beautiful ceiling tiles downstairs. Restaurants will still need to arrange additional fire suppression details with the City and County Health Department. This building has been fully cleaned out and is demo-ready for your dream project. The exterior has been completely remodeled, including reframed and repaired upstairs window openings, repointed brick mortar, freshly caulked, primed, and painted brick. It also features new awnings, gutters, parapet wall metal coping, and upstairs vinyl windows that open with screens. Don't miss this chance to bring your vision to life in a beautifully restored piece of Rusk's history. | |
