Granville ND Real Estate & Homes for Sale

How would you like to live in the most incredible building in the Greater Minot Area? Maybe you are a local home owner or even a writer or artist who would like a really nice place to live and entertain. This building provides endless opportunities!! This property is located a short 20 minute drive east of Minot in the small town of Granville, ND. This elegant, stately, Stone Building was originally built in 1903 and housed the Granville State Bank. Due to the Great Depression in 1933, the bank closed its doors. The building then passed through several owners and various uses in its many years. The Granville Service Exchange continued to serve customer's needs into the 1970's. After the mid 70's the building was largely unoccupied. Restoration of the building began in 2010 and finished in 2011. Amazing craftsmanship resulted in fantastic quality throughout the entire building. The owner wanted to restore and improve on the original beauty of this building. Improvements include new interior walls, doors, period correct high efficiency window, electrical service with amazing light fixtures, flooring, two furnaces, insulation, plumbing, stairways and roof. City water and sewer were brought into the building during restoration. The original bank safe is still in tact. This is a great conversation piece that would make a fantastic wine cellar. A building addition was added on the north side to accommodate the new elevator (at a cost of $80,000), stairway, restroom and office space. The elevator provides easy access from street level to the main floor, the 2nd level living area and lower level. All floors are handicap accessible. There is a nice view from Executive Suite on the second level. There are two bedrooms, a large den, great room, a kitchen compete with appliances and beautiful cabinets, bath, and laundry room that could be made into another bathroom. The day-light lower level would work for a bedroom, hobby rooms, home office, a large laundry/sewing room or commercial space. The courtyard was completed in 2012 to enhance the experience of living or working in this property. The fenced courtyard includes a deck with sitting area and fire-pit. There is parking for 6 cars in addition to ample street parking for family and friends. Attention investor, small business owner, restaurant owner, antique dealer, dentist, vision care, chiropractor, message therapist, beauty care, artist, author, insurance agent, financial advisor, or any young professional, this is a great live/work property. A good use for this property would be an event location rented in conjunction with the Community Center across the street. And remember...the White Buffalo Bar and Grill on the other side of Main Street specializes in Buffalo Burgers and Steaks. Three airlines, Amtrak and U.S. Hwy 2 insure easy access to travel the world. Call to arrange a showing today!!
