About this home
Exceptional commercial opportunity in the heart of Essex Village. This fully renovated property is currently configured as a bakery and coffee shop, offering a turnkey space with flexibility for a variety of commercial or mixed-use possibilities. The light-filled interior features cathedral ceilings, updated systems, seating for nine, and an efficient open layout designed for both functionality and customer experience. Significant renovations include all new plumbing and electrical, ADA-compliant improvements, mini-split systems, and new windows. A standout feature of the property is the private rear patio with beautiful marsh views — an ideal extension of the interior space. The property also includes three dedicated parking spaces and a highly desirable in-town location close to restaurants, shops, marinas, and recreation. Perfect for a bakery/cafe, coffee shop, retail shop, office, gallery, live/work concept, or possible residential conversion.
