316 Lafayette St

Description

Beautifully restored historic property now operating as a commercial space, offering a rare blend of architectural character, modern finishes, and flexible use in a high-traffic downtown location. Formerly residential and thoughtfully converted, the property is currently operating as a salon but can easily adapt to office, boutique retail, professional services, or creative studio use—with the option to convert back to residential if desired. Every detail has been intentionally curated, from custom iron doors and statement chandeliers to refinished original hardwood floors, elevated wall treatments, and designer finishes throughout. The craftsmanship and level of finish far exceed typical renovations, creating a space that feels both timeless and high-end. The building features a second story with interior access via a charming spiral staircase, as well as a separate exterior entrance, offering flexibility for a private office suite, flex space, or potential upstairs apartment build-out. A detached storage building adds additional utility rarely found in downtown properties. Excellent street visibility supports strong business exposure, and while downtown parking is often a concern, this property benefits from on-site parking along with established parking directly across the street. For buyers interested in a turnkey business opportunity, the existing salon equipment and fixtures may be purchased separately. This is a standout opportunity to own a character-rich commercial property with multiple paths forward—whether as an income-producing business, professional space, or mixed-use investment in one of downtown’s most active corridors.
