This is a rare opportunity to own a property in the HEART of historic Cedar Key, Florida! This historic structure, previously a private home, had been utilized as the Cedar Key City Hall for many years. Hurricane flooding and resulting damages spurred the City to move offices to an already-owned building on high ground, in order to forego repairs and to provide municipal services without interruption in the future. The decision has been made to remain in the new building, so the Old City Hall building is available for purchase! You cannot ask for a better location for a downtown home, a business, or a vacation rental. With a future land use designation of Mixed Use, you could both have a business here, AND live at this location! The building was stripped to dry and prevent mold, and the floor has been removed. The extensive rooftop solar array is still in place. Three entrances make multiple use easy to accommodate. If you want a great spot to provide an easily-accessible island business, here's your chance. The island is still in need of a replacement grocery store, and the City Commission, acting as the CRA Board, recently decided that they are creating a CRA grant for up to $150,000 for a downtown grocery. What a way to offset some of the restoration expense and provide a much-needed local essential business! Call to take a look today!

Check out this amazing piece of Cedar Key, Florida history! Originally built as a church, this building still has the speaking platform in place--a sleekly-curved, raised section of its wood floor! The build date on this listing is currently an estimate. For most of the past century, it was used as a woodworking shop by Herman Wells, who built all of the fine Adirondack chairs you see dotted around on the island. Filled with equipment and several different species of Herman's choice woods, the building functioned perfectly while customers waited in line for the hand-crafted chairs and the beautifully-flowing porch swings "Wells Woods" was famous for creating. With Herman's passing, the building is now available for its next chapter and the restoration that will bring. As a contributing structure to the Cedar Key Historic Register, the building is entitled to special treatment in regards to FEMA regulations. The designation on the register rewards an owner with the opportunity to spend whatever funds they choose in a restoration without having to comply with FEMA's 50% rule, thereby avoiding the additional expense elevation would incur. This fabulous piece of history is ready for you to get started in the creation of its next chapter. Take a look--and quiz your real estate agent on the details. What a unique opportunity! If only this place could talk!
