About this home
Set in the heart of downtown Machias, 97 Court Street is a versatile commercial property ready for its next chapter. Renovated in 2023, the building offers approximately 2,000 square feet of usable space with the flexibility to suit retail, office, studio, service, or mixed-use concepts. Court Street is one of Machias' primary thoroughfares, giving the property excellent visibility, steady traffic, and easy access to everything downtown has to offer. The open, uncluttered interior makes it easy to picture your own business, investment, or creative venture taking shape here. Character and function go hand in hand throughout, with exposed wood beams, warm pine flooring on the second level, and an adaptable floor plan. A half bath is in place, and existing plumbing offers potential for a future kitchen or breakroom. The 2023 renovation included new electrical wiring, updated plumbing, vinyl replacement windows, and spray foam insulation, so the major systems work is already done. Stained pine board-and-batten siding on portions of the exterior adds curb appeal and durability. Outside, the 0.41-acre in-town lot provides on-site parking and a detached storage building with a metal roof, ideal for inventory, equipment, a workshop, or general storage. Whether you're launching a new business, relocating an existing one, or growing your portfolio, this is a well-located downtown property with room to grow.
