Located on the square in Lake City's charming downtown square, this beautifully restored Carnegie Library offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history reimagined as a vibrant commercial space. Originally constructed in 1900 with a grant from Andrew Carnegie, this iconic building has been thoughtfully converted into a versatile retail space, previously operating as the Carnegie Cafe, a beloved restaurant and bar since 2003. The building retains its classic Carnegie architectural details, including high ceilings, large windows, and a stately brick exterior, while featuring extensive interior and exterior renovations completed in 2016 and updated in 2024. Currently configured as a retail space, the property has a proven track record as a successful restaurant and bar, with a themed menu and signature drink list inspired by literary classics. Its layout is adaptable for various business concepts, including office space, retail, dining, or event spaces. The main floor spans 1,833 square feet, offering ample room for customer seating, displays, or operations. A full basement (approximately 1,800 SF) provides additional potential for storage, office space, or a possible conversion into a living area. This property is ideal for entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, or retailers seeking a distinctive venue with a story to tell. Whether you envision a boutique shop, a cozy cafe, or a lively bar, the Carnegie Library is an unique opportunity in a picturesque small-town.
