Built in 1887 and thoughtfully restored in partnership with the Cranbrook Archives and Railway Museum, this iconic structure was brought up to commercial standards while preserving its historic integrity. The result? A space that feels warm, rooted, and ready for anything.

A Rare Find in the Heart of Cranbrook

This isn’t just real estate — it’s the original homestead that Cranbrook was built around. Thanks to a full professional restoration led by the local historical society and decades of careful stewardship, the building now offers the reliability of a modern commercial property with minimal maintenance and rare tenant turnover.

With long-term tenants already in place and select premium spaces thoughtfully left open for the next owner, this is a rare opportunity to own something truly special — a building with heritage, income, and purpose, all under one roof.
