15 Central Street is one of the finest commercial locations in Woodstock with two of the most creative and successful businesses as the anchor tenants. The historic building has adapted to changes over the course of its long history of uses including residential, barber shop, a dance & pool hall, law office, architectural services and a variety of mercantile endeavors. Notably, the building was the headquarters of Lt Colonel Peter T. Washburn, who led the 1st Vermont Regiment troops in their crucial role at Gettysburg. He returned to the roles of Adjutant and Inspector General to organize and direct Vermont’s military efforts through the rest of the Civil War from his offices at 15 Central Street. The current owners, recognizing it was time to adapt the building to the 21st Century, developed plans to upgrade and modernize the second and third floors for mixed use including an incredible residential unit with exposed brick walls and timber framing. The story high historic windows have been restored, and the second level has been reframed with new sheetrock. The third level partition walls have been removed to create a dramatic open area with views over the village to the north and south leaving the finishes and uses of the two levels up to your imagination. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a property with a remarkable history and become part of creating Woodstock’s future. Note: Gross income reduced in 2024 due to renovation
It has been said that the highest and best use of this landmark Woodstock property would be a combination of constructing multiple residential units, in the private rear acreage, and commercial development, of the highly visible Route 4 road frontage. There is no question of the unlimited potential! Highly visible! Well located, on the East End entrance route to Woodstock Village! This property owned by Gerrish Corporation, commonly known as “Woodstock East,” located at 458 Woodstock Road, Woodstock, Vermont, contains 4.5 acres, more or less. The property is located in the Commercial/Light Industrial Zone, allowing a multitude of commercial, industrial and residential uses of the property. The property was the site of a substantial gasoline spill in 1973. However, the property was enrolled in the Vermont Brownsfield Reuse Environmental Liability Limitation Act program (10 V.S.A. §6641-§6656) in 1999 and was successfully remediated. On June 5, 2012 the Vermont Agency of NaturalResources signed a Certificate of Completion, thereby providing protection to third party purchasers of the property pursuant to 10 V.S.A §6653(a) from any liability arising from any contamination on the property which occurred prior to that date, making this one the safest properties in Vermont from a pollution liability perspective. Location, location, location!!
