172 formerly 153 Main St., Saluda, NC 28773

Originally constructed as a residence in the city of Saluda, "The Barn" building has evolved over the years, adapting to the town's growth. As the business district expanded beyond the historic downtown area, the building found new life in commercial use, serving as both an art gallery and a real estate office. Its strategic location at the gateway to the historic district makes it a prime spot to capture the attention of visitors, making it ideal for retail or office use. Nestled between a popular bakery/restaurant and a well-known developer, this building is set against one of Saluda's picturesque hills, providing a charming backdrop. Inside, it features an open room perfect for a reception area or retail displays, a side room spacious enough for desks or additional retail space, a break room, and a back room suitable for office equipment, storage, or further retail displays. Beautiful polished hardwood floors, and walls lined with moldings add a touch of refinement.
