The store and the home are both on the same lot, therefore they could not be separated in the sale.
The store is now vacant but previously was a general store selling grocery and deli. The heat in the store, as well as the water, comes from the home itself. There is a separate electrical panel in the store to provide the electricity. The town would not need to give approval for a continuation of this type of store. If someone wants to put an office, a music studio, etc., then the town would have to give permission to do so. Currently, the lot is considered an R-7 zone. The store has about 900 square feet of space.
The home on the property has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. It is about 100 years old and was renovated about 40 years ago. There is only a crawl space for a basement. The executrix is planning on putting in a sump pump to ease any water issues.
