Property Description

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!! A rare opportunity in the heart of Downtown Blue Ridge! Located in the highly desirable C-1 zoning district, 3260 East First Street offers exceptional potential for a professional office, live-work location, boutique business, or other permitted commercial use—where available space is increasingly difficult to find. Just steps from restaurants, shopping, the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, and all the energy of downtown, this property delivers the visibility and walkability businesses want. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, with full kitchen and laundry room, features 1,176 square feet on the main level, plus an additional 428-square-foot unfinished basement offering valuable storage or workshop/hobby area. Inside, original hardwood floors remain intact and in good condition, while the sunroom and laundry room feature updated flooring. Numerous improvements have already been completed including fresh interior paint, replacement and painting of the exterior siding, electrical wiring, and ductwork; a redesigned interior ceiling and a new roof. The property is connected to city water and sewer, and the landscaping was refreshed in July 2026 for enhanced curb appeal. Whether envisioned as a welcoming professional office, creative workspace, convenient live-work environment or an investment in one of Blue Ridge's most sought-after locations, this property offers a combination of character, convenience, and commercial potential that is truly hard to come by. Buyer should verify that their intended use complies with current zoning requirements.
