135 South Wayne Street
FOR SALE - Former Bakery (3,450 SF)
Marketing description
Position your concept in the heart of Downtown Milledgeville with a flexible, multi-level building that offers strong street presence and future upside. This property features ±2,450 SF of wide-open, street-level storefront—ideal for a restaurant, brewery/taproom, bar, boutique retail, showroom, or creative office—plus a ±1,000 SF loft with hardwood floors that can be finished for additional use, including the potential for apartment(s) or live/work space (buyer to verify use and permitting). A full-length basement provides excellent storage and back-of-house functionality rarely found in downtown storefronts.
The building also offers value-add potential through design flexibility: add storefront windows and create ground-level outdoor access, and the layout can accommodate an elevator to improve accessibility to the loft level (buyer to verify feasibility).
Recent Improvements/Equipment Upgrades Include: LED lighting, refinished floors, fresh paint, roof repairs, new grease trap, new freezer, and a new POS system with software—helping reduce upfront capital needs for many food-and-beverage operators.
