“[The building] was built in the late 1800s as a brewery, so it still has a lot of that old architecture, like high ceilings, big steel beams, and exposed brick, and you can actually still see some of the pieces of the building that they used for brewing,” says the listing agent, Zachary Naeger with RE Source. “There’s a concrete trough where they used to divert water, and a stone cellar with arched ceilings where they used to store wine and beer.”

Right now, half of the building awaits a suds-fueled renaissance, and the other half is a recently converted residence that truly shines.

The tall brick structure is the 3,800-square-foot residential space, and the attached commercial building measures in at an additional 3,409 square feet.

Naeger says the building was a brewery for many years. It was put to other uses during Prohibition, and sat empty for decades.

“The current owners bought it with the intention of renovating it and getting it functional as a brewery again,” Naeger says. “They completed the residential side—and then an opportunity came up for them to move to the East Coast and take a job that they couldn’t pass up.”

Now the property awaits a new owner who also fantasizes about fermentation.

On the residential side, the fabulous four-bedroom space spans two levels and also has a basement.

“The owner is an architect, and she did a great job with it,” Naeger explains, noting that she “paid attention to all of the details and preserving all of the historical qualities of the building—and working around them.”

Featuring exposed brick and large, arched windows, the high ceilings and open floor plan give the space an airy feel.
