Property 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. Owned by the same family for over 60 years, this building carries extraordinary provenance and cultural significance. Offered as real estate only (business not included), it presents an exceptional opportunity to continue its legacy as a classic Provincetown retail destination or to pursue a bold redevelopment vision. This is more than real estate--it is a piece of Provincetown history, offered as-is to those ready to define its next chapter.
