Unique Opportunity: Historic North Branch Firehouse We are proud to present a rare opportunity to own the historic Old North Branch Firehouse, a versatile property offering endless residential and commercial possibilities. Ideal for an event space, gallery, studio, gym or dance school, Airbnb, workshop, or a variety of new business ventures for the area. First Floor With its own private entrance, the first floor features high ceilings, a large kitchen, spacious bathroom, one bedroom, and an expansive open living area with room to easily add another bedroom. Also on this level is the former firehouse apparatus room—now a two-truck garage with 10-foot ceilings—currently used as an artist work and exhibition space. This area could also serve as a workshop, studio, or creative space and includes 220-volt industrial electrical capacity. Second Floor The second floor offers charming mid-century character, highlighted by high ceilings, polished hard-pine floors, broad window casings, a small stage, and four closets. The space includes an open living, dining, and exercise area plus a separate bedroom. Formerly a dance hall and currently operating as a high-end vacation rental, it features a full-size kitchenette and could easily function as a separate apartment with a dedicated bathroom off the first-floor entry foyer.
