Key Facts
Description
At the epicenter of Provincetown's commercial life, a rare opportunity to own a truly storied Commercial Street property. Prominently located on one of the town's coveted Golden Blocks, with 1,940+/- sq ft of high-visibility, street-level retail space, paired with 570+/- sq ft of well-designed storage--a valuable and uncommon combination in this location. Second floor features eight bedrooms, historically used for staff housing, with common areas and water views that reflect Provincetown's unmistakable character. The property totals 4,598+/- sq ft and opens onto iconic Gosnold Street, home to the beloved ''ART'' sign that leads straight to the beach--an instantly recognizable landmark woven into the fabric of the town.
