The Stationhouse
Retail | 1,285 SqFt
Marketing description
Perfectly positioned along South Park Avenue, this ±1,285 SF single-story restaurant sits on a 0.14-acre parcel surrounded by some of Sanford’s most visited restaurants, breweries, and entertainment venues. Originally constructed in 1938, this block-built structure was fully remodeled in 2020, blending nostalgic architectural details with modern hospitality function.
The property features a full commercial kitchen buildout, open dining area, and garage-style roll-up door that opens to an expansive outdoor patio, creating a lively and inviting indoor-outdoor dining experience. The restaurant’s configuration and build quality make it ideal for a local operator, craft food concept, or investor seeking a turn-key restaurant asset in a growing downtown corridor.
The property also includes ADA accessibility, street parking, and an interior connection to the adjacent building that can remain open or be enclosed—offering optional flexibility for an expanded footprint or shared operations. With SC-3 zoning and no remaining environmental liabilities (following full remediation and tank removal), this property presents a clean, compliant foundation for the next generation of Sanford dining.
