Look at this sweet little piece of Americana!
Located in Bernhard’s Bay in upstate New York near Syracuse, this authentic 1840’s Country Store is currently for sale for $195,000.
It is zoned commercial and/or residential so you could live in an unusual home and run your own business there!
As far as old country stores go, this one comes loaded with memorabilia and antiques.
According to the listing, the building was used over the decades as a community gathering place where locals came to shop, vote, and socialize.
Until 1984 it was know as The Trading Post, having been operated for 60 years by the same couple, George and Edna Davis. Sixty years!
Look at all the original features!
The current owners purchased the building in 2007 and put $150,000 into renovations/restorations.
Sweet little vintage kitchen area.
And look, the original built-in wall safe:
Amazing!
On the upper floor you have a game room complete with a friendly Raggedy Ann…
And lots of unused space for anything your heart desires:
What a lovely old gal. Somebody purchase this community gem and keep her going for another sixty years!
