Welcome to 31 Main Avenue in Gardiner, a true architectural landmark originally built in 1911 by the Maine Central Railroad. This Romanesque stone station has stood for more than a century, anchoring downtown with presence, permanence, and unmistakable character. Constructed with stone masonry and a full granite basement, the level of craftsmanship throughout the building reflects a time when structures were built to last. The expansive interior offers flexible commercial space with high visibility and natural flow, making it ideal for retail, office, hospitality, or creative redevelopment. Positioned in the heart of downtown Gardiner, the property sits just steps from the Kennebec River and connects directly to the city's waterfront. Its location provides exceptional exposure and walkability in one of central Maine's most vibrant and growing downtowns. A rare and valuable component of this offering is the lower waterfront parcel along the Kennebec River with separate access. Currently an unused former parking area, this space presents future recreational potential or possible boat access, subject to approvals. The building is currently leased to a well established retail operator under a triple net lease, with the tenant responsible for all operating expenses. This provides immediate, predictable income while preserving long term flexibility for the next owner. Opportunities to own a piece of Gardiner's history with income and waterfront potential are rare. This is more than a building. It is a legacy property ready for its next chapter. Owner financing available.
