NEW LIST - 174 W CENTER GIRARD $170,000

This quaint two-story historical brick and limestone building on Girard square was built in the 1860's, originally serving as a silver-plating business and then in 1919 purchased by People's Bank. After the bank closing in 1931, a locally-owned butcher shop purchased the building and utilized the safe as a meat locker. That safe now serves as a shelter / walk-in closet in the main floor master suite. Jones family bought the building in 1959 and had the Girard Gazette office in the spaces until the family sold the business in 2017. The building has original sturdy construction that has withstood the test of time, with many modern updates along the way - including renovation of the second floor 2004, first floor 2017, and foundation reinforcement. The building has new plumbing, electrical and flooring. The second floor has tongue and groove 1/2” oak flooring, with tile in the bathrooms and kitchen. The open loft offers a space for plenty of creativity as well, additional sleeping space, or just a fun hang-out spot! The upstairs unit has two more bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with a chair lift on stairs. Exterior walls are composed of vinyl siding, 1” foam, 15” brick, and 2x6” interior wall filled with insulation, rubber roof installed in 2017,featuring Leaf Guards on gutters. What will the next chapter be for this beautiful building residential, commercial, or the newest must-visit destination spot on Route 66?

Sometimes a picture is about more than what’s in the background.

With Route 66 rolling through Virden and all the excitement that came with it, I had the chance to catch up with two people who have meant a lot to me over the years. We worked together, helped countless families, celebrated successes, and navigated challenges—but most importantly, we built friendships that have lasted far beyond the workplace.

The real estate business introduces us to a lot of people, but every so often you meet people who become lifelong friends. I’m thankful for these two and for the memories we’ve shared along the way.

A great day, a great town, and a great reminder that the relationships we build are what matter most.

Excellent commercial opportunity with endless potential! Originally designed as a drive-up bank, this property features two access points for drive-thru capabilities along with a dedicated ATM area. After its banking use, the building successfully operated as a professional office while still maintaining ATM access. This versatile property could easily be transformed back into a drive-thru concept such as a coffee shop, bakery, financial institution, boutique retail space, or other service-based business. There is also room for expansion if additional space is needed. The building includes a basement offering valuable additional storage or workspace options. To help showcase the possibilities, AI-rendered concept images of potential ideas are in the photos. Positioned on the main route through town directly across from the famous DiCarlos Pizza, this location benefits from outstanding visibility and consistent traffic from both local residents and visitors traveling from surrounding communities. Opportunities like this do not come around often; bring your vision and make this property your next successful venture. Call today for your private showing!
