Alaska time! Old general store! This would be fun to own and the view is so pretty! The store was built in 1910. It is located in Chitina, Alaska. The store has had upgrades and is ready for a new owner. There are living quarters upstairs. Could use the bottom floor as a shop, art studio, cafe, so many possibilities. New roof, new foundation, updated electric. Now that I’m looking again, not seeing a bathroom. It says plumbing has been installed though. 1,430 square feet. $225,000
